Celebrities Unite to Urge Biden for Israel-Gaza Ceasefire

Fifty-five celebrities, including Jon Stewart, Cate Blanchett, and Joaquin Phoenix, have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. They are asking for an end to the bombing in Gaza and the release of hostages. The letter comes after Biden requested $105 billion in military aid for Israel and Ukraine. Negotiations for humanitarian aid to Gaza have stalled, and the celebrities emphasize the need to stand for freedom, justice, dignity, and peace for all people.
