Over 60 celebrities, including Chelsea Handler, Connie Britton, and Andy Cohen, have signed an open letter to President Biden and Vice President Harris, urging them to secure the release of 101 Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The letter emphasizes that bringing the hostages home, including five Americans, is essential for achieving sustainable peace in the Middle East. It comes as tensions rise following the brutal killing of six hostages, with their bodies discovered in a Hamas tunnel. The signatories, organized by Jewish advocacy groups, also call for continued U.S. support for Israel, highlighting the need to pressure Hamas for the hostages' release. This plea coincides with the upcoming anniversary of the October 7 attack that led to these kidnappings, which claimed around 1,200 lives. The situation has sparked division within the entertainment industry, with some advocating for a ceasefire and an end to arms sales to Israel.
