A-list Hollywood stars unite, urging Biden to broker Israel-Hamas ceasefire

A group of Hollywood A-listers, including Joaquin Phoenix and Cate Blanchett, have penned an open letter to President Biden, urging him and other world leaders to push for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The letter, organized by the non-profit organization "Artist 4 Ceasefire," calls for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire, condemning the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians. The celebrities highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with children and families running out of essential supplies due to airstrikes and cuts to supply routes. Other prominent actors in the UK have also accused world governments of aiding and abetting Israel's "war crimes."
