Bella Hadid is not afraid to use her platform and get political. The international supermodel shared an emotional defense of Palestinians with her 16 million Instagram followers on Thursday. Hadid denounced President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem the capital of Israel on Wednesday. The 21-year-old’s father, Mohamed, posted a similar image of the Dome of The Rock in Jerusalem after Trump’s speech, calling the moment the “saddest day of his life.” Mohamed is Palestinian. “Seeing the sadness of my father, cousins, and Palestinian family that are feeling for our Palestinian ancestors makes this even harder to write,” Hadid wrote on Instagram.
