Artists4Ceasefire, an organization comprised of prominent artists, has declared that there is no ceasefire in Gaza. The statement, which was shared on Instagram, lists 11 individuals as part of the group, including Javier Bardem, Mark Ruffalo, and Annie Lennox. The group has been critical of Israel's continued military actions in Gaza since October 2025, when a US-mediated ceasefire was supposed to have come into effect.
In the last 10 months, over 1,200 Palestinians have been killed and more than 4,000 have been wounded, with at least 300 children among the casualties, according to UNICEF. The Artists4Ceasefire statement urges for a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian aid, and an end to the decades-long denial of Palestinian human rights.
The group also highlights the violence faced by Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, who are terrorized and murdered by settlers and Israeli soldiers.
