This Monday, October 23, 93 French artists signed a column in the newspaper Humanity in favor of peace between Israelis and Palestinians following the resurgence of the conflict since the beginning of October.
Among them, we find in particular the actress Adèle Haenel, the actors Swann Arlaud, Reda Kateb and Jean-Pascal Zadi, the Nobel Prize-winning author Annie Ernaux, the actor and screenwriter Arthur Harari, the director Céline Sciamma or the latest winner of the Palme d’Or Justine Triet.
« We come together as artists in the face of ongoing tragedy. We are shocked by the loss of so many precious lives in Israel/Palestine. And we are witnesses to it », They begin by writing in reaction to the unprecedented attack by Hamas on October 7.

However, the column published this Monday adds that “ decades of occupation deprive Palestinians of their fundamental rights and freedoms “, which raises fears of a ” new catastrophic injustice ” Who ” would, as a bonus, move away from the possibility of a just and lasting peace, security for the two peoples ».
