Cannes stars take discreet stances on Gaza war

Some personalities at the Cannes Film Festival are discreetly showing support for causes related to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Survivor Laura Blajman-Kadar wore a dress featuring hostage images, calling for their release. Actress Leila Beikhti sported a pro-Palestinian brooch. Juror Omar Sy urged a ceasefire on Instagram. While few films directly address the conflict, a Palestinian documentary explores the struggles of trans women, and an Israeli short depicts a woman’s indifference to patriotic celebrations. The festival provides a platform to raise awareness amid the glamour. REUTERS/Clodagh Kilcoyne :
