Along with the pictures, she wrote, "This many beautiful, smart, respectful, loving, kind and generous Palestinians all in one place... it feels whole! We are a rare breed!! It's free Palestine til Palestine is free!!! P.s. The Palestinian drip is real #FreePalestine" Earlier, in a deleted Instagram post spotted by Fox News, that invited backlash from some of the social media users, Bella stated that Israel is not a country but a land settled by colonisers that practice "ethnic cleansing, military occupation and apartheid over the Palestinian people."

She wrote, "There is NO place for this!!! Especially in 2021!!!! it has always been #freepalestine. ALWAYS. I have a lot to say about this but for now, please read and educate yourself." Commenting on the Israeli-Palestinian clash, Hadid further said, "This is not about religion. This is not about spewing hate on one or the other. This is about Israeli colonization, ethnic cleansing, military occupation and apartheid over the Palestinian people that has been going on for YEARS."

Earlier this month, the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict started when the unrest began in East Jerusalem over an Israeli court's decision to evict several Palestinian families from the area. The confrontation intensified in recent days as Ramzan brought large crowds to al-Aqsa and clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli police. The death toll in Palestine due to Israeli airstrikes has reached 188, including 55 children as the conflict entered its seventh day on Sunday. On the other hand, more than 2,500 rockets have been fired from Gaza towards Israel since Monday, killing 10 people in the Jewish nation, including an Indian national, The Times of Israel reported citing the country's military.
