Celebrities urge Biden for Israel-Palestine ceasefire in open letter

Dozens of celebrities signed a letter sent to US President Biden urging him to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine war.

Celebrities include Channing Tatum, Ramy Youssef, Dua Lipa, Jon Stewart, Riz Ahmed, Mo Amer, Mark Ruffalo, Mahershala Ali and Hasan Minhaj.

"We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honour all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay, an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages," the letter said.

"We stand for freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people - and a deep desire to stop more bloodshed.

"We refuse to tell future generations the story of our silence, that we stood by and did nothing."
