Many artists and celebrities have reacted to the unfortunate developments in Lebanon in recent days, following Israeli airstrikes that resulted in hundreds of martyrs and thousands of injuries.
This Tuesday morning, Egyptian artist Sherine Abdel Wahab expressed her deep sorrow over the situation in Lebanon through her account on X, stating, “My heart is sad for the country that taught me joy and resilience.” She added that Lebanon is suffering and that it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, concluding with her prayer, “May God be with you and help you.”
Singer Tamer Hosny wrote on his Instagram account via stories, “O God, protect Lebanon.”
On Instagram, Tunisian actress Hend Sabry expressed her sadness about the events, posting a picture of the Lebanese flag and commenting, “O Protector, we entrust our people in Lebanon and Gaza to you. Let the injustice reach its peak, O God.”
Under the hashtag “Lebanon Under Bombing,” Tunisian singer Saber Rebai called for the Lebanese people, saying on Instagram, “Peace and safety to our people in Lebanon. O God, protect Lebanon and its people from all evil. Our hearts are with you.”
Egyptian actress Mona Zaki shared the Lebanese flag on her Instagram account, writing, “O God, protect our people, our brothers, and our friends in Lebanon. Our hearts are with you.”
Jordanian artist Saba Mubarak posted a picture of the recent explosions in Lebanon on her Instagram stories, commenting, “Peace and safety to Lebanon.” This was the same picture and comment that Iraqi artist Rahma Riad shared on her Instagram account as well.
Lebanese celebrities also reacted to the events. Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama described “Israel as a bloodthirsty terrorist” on his X account, particularly targeting the blood of children and civilians who are not involved in the war. He wrote, “It has not had its fill of innocent blood in Gaza, and now it is committing its crimes against the innocents in Lebanon under the pretext of war. O God, we entrust you with our beloved Lebanon and our people in all areas of Lebanon. Remove this crime and this black cloud from us, O Lord of the worlds.”
Under the hashtag “Lebanon Does Not Want War,” Elissa wrote, “Lebanon and its people deserve to live in safety and peace away from wars, killings, and displacement that will not serve this country. Isn’t it time to implement international resolutions capable of protecting Lebanon and neutralizing it from external conflicts?”
Nawal El Zoghbi shared a video of herself singing “I Love You, Lebanon, My Homeland, How I Love You,” a song by Lebanese singer Fairouz.
Hours before this, she commented on the situation through her X account, saying, “Have mercy, O Lord. May God protect our country and have mercy on the martyrs and innocent victims.”
