Gigi Hadid once again has come under intense scrutiny for her controversial remarks regarding the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

She faced a wave of criticism over a contentious Instagram post that she later removed.

In the post, Gigi  accused Israel of longstanding violence against Palestinians, including allegations of killing, torture, rape, abduction, and humiliation, which she claimed predated a surprise attack by Hamas on October 7 that resulted in around 1,200 fatalities.

Hadid's post singled out Israel as the sole nation globally that detains children as prisoners of war. She highlighted the case of Ahmed Almanasra, a Palestinian youth apprehended at 13 by Israeli authorities after he and his sibling attacked a security guard and another young boy. ABC News reported that Almanasra was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison, a term that was subsequently reduced to 9.5 years.

Her assertions extended to accusing Israeli forces of isolating Almanasra despite his critical health condition and detaining numerous Palestinian minors under harsh conditions in Israeli prisons.

Additionally, Gigi shared a video alleging that Israeli officials had been involved in the unauthorised harvesting of organs from deceased Palestinians, a claim that further fueled the backlash against her.
