Pop star Dua Lipa called for an immediate ceasefire in the war in Gaza again on Tuesday, according to for various reports.
“Burning children alive can never be justified,” Lipa said in an Instagram post on Tuesday that accompanied a graphic from the group Artists4Ceasefire, according to multiple media outlets. “The entire world is mobilizing to stop the Israeli genocide. Please show your solidarity with Gaza.”
A recent Israeli attack on the city of Rafah, in southern Gaza, which set fire to a displacement camp and killed 45 Palestinians and injured 200, resulted in international fury directed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his country.
Lipa, next to fellow pop musicians like Selena Gomez, Zayn Malik and the band MUNA, had previously signed the Artists4Ceasefire open letter to President Biden, which calls for “an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone published in January, Lipa said that “there simply weren’t enough world leaders who were standing up and speaking out about the humanitarian crisis that’s happening, the humanitarian ceasefire that has to happen” in Gaza.
“I don’t think there’s any kind of deep discussion about war and oppression. It’s something we’ve seen happen over and over again,” the “Houdini” singer said in the Rolling Stone interview.
“I feel like just being a musician and posting about something doesn’t make enough of a difference, but I hope that just showing solidarity, which sometimes is all you feel like you can do, is important,” Lipa said.
