JAKARTA - Drake and Jennifer Lopez are the latest artists to sign an open letter calling for a ceasefire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Adam Lambert also joined them in adding his signature to the Artist's 4Ceasefire letter, which asked US President Joe Biden and Congress to push for a decision to "end the bombing in Gaza", with the aim of securing the "safety of the release of hostages".
On October 30, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a news conference that Israel would never agree to a ceasefire because it meant handing over to Hamas, surrendering to terrorism, surrendering to barbarism [via Sky News].
He compared the ceasefire call after October 7 with calls to the US to agree to a ceasefire after the 9/11 attacks.
So far, the open letter has been signed by dozens of well-known names from various entertainment worlds.
