Dua Lipa is calling for ceasefire in Israel and is urging world leaders to take a stand in a recent interview. This is solely because of the conflict between Israel and Hamas that has continued into the new year, with over 24,000 people who have died on both sides, 23,469 of them Palestinian and 1,200 Israeli. Dua Lipa’s call for Cease-Fire comes after she joined many celebrities in signing an open letter to President Joe Biden calling for a ceasefire and “an end to the bombing of Gaza and the safe release of hostages.”(via NME).

The singer’s comments come from a recent interview she gave for the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine where she gave her additional stance on the conflict. She stated “My existence is kind of political, the fact that I lived in London because my parents left from the war,” she said. “I feel for people who have to leave their homes. From my experience of being in Kosovo and understanding what war does, no one wants to leave their home. They do it for protection, to save their family, to look after the people around them, that kind of thing, for a better life. So I feel close to it.”

While the war continues, there is some positivity in the star’s life as her new album is expected to arrive later this year. In the same Rolling Stones interview, she revealed that her new album is “psychedelic-pop-infused” and was inspired by the likes of Primal Scream and Massive Attack. She added that the upcoming record captures the feeling of youth and having fun and is all about letting things happen good or bad.
