In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, singer Dua Lipa expressed her views on the Israel-Hamas conflict, calling for a "humanitarian cease-fire." Lipa emphasized the lack of in-depth discussions about war and oppression, stating that these issues occur repeatedly without comprehensive discourse. While acknowledging that being a musician and posting about conflicts might not bring significant change, she believes showing solidarity is crucial.
Addressing the Hamas attacks on October 7, which claimed Israeli lives, Lipa expressed sympathy for every life lost. She, along with celebrities like Cate Blanchett and Joaquin Phoenix, signed an open letter urging President Biden to promote de-escalation and a cease-fire. Lipa stressed the urgency for world leaders to address the humanitarian crisis and called for an end to hostilities.
The interview also touched on Lipa's response to accusations of antisemitism in 2021, where she emphasized her commitment to standing in solidarity with oppressed people and rejecting all forms of racism. She shared her experience of having her core values questioned during that time.
