Gigi, 28, has also taken a public stand on the ongoing bloodshed in the region. She referred to the conflict as an "unjustifiable tragedy" for both Israelis and Palestinians and emphasized her hopes and dreams for Palestinians that do not include harm to Jewish individuals.

The 28-year-old supermodel shared an infographic on her Instagram Story that asserted, "There is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians. Condemning the Israeli government is not antisemitic, and supporting Palestinians is not supporting Hamas."

The Israeli government, in response, condemned Gigi online, arguing that there is nothing valiant about Hamas' actions and suggesting that supporting Israelis in their right to defend against what they referred to as "barbaric terrorists" is the appropriate stance.

The conflict in Gaza between Israelis and Palestinians which began earlier this year, have resulted in thousands of casualties on both sides. While the conflict was initiated by the notorious militant organization Hamas, which claimed more than 1400 lives in Israel.
