Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar has spoken out about the plight of Palestinians in Gaza during the recent Diafa Awards ceremony in Dubai.
Zafar, who was a guest performer at the event, dedicated his performance to the Palestinian people and called on the international community to take action to end their suffering.
"I stand here today to express my solidarity with the Palestinian people who have been living under Israeli occupation for decades," Zafar said. "Their suffering is a stark reminder of the injustice that continues to plague our world."
Zafar's comments were met with applause from the audience, which included many Arab celebrities and dignitaries.
The singer-actor's stance on the Palestinian issue is not new. He has spoken out about the occupation on several occasions in the past, and he has also used his platform to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Zafar's message of peace and justice is a welcome one, and it is hoped that his words will inspire others to take action to help the Palestinian people.
