Addressed to President Biden, a letter signed by an array of artists and public figures including Dua Lipa, Kristen Stewart, and Joaquin Phoenix, among others, serves as a pressing call for immediate intervention in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The letter cuts through diplomatic niceties, laying out the grim statistics: more than 5,000 lives lost in just over a week, and a child killed in Gaza every 15 minutes.

The text also highlights the dire conditions in Gaza, where residents are running out of essential supplies like food, water, and electricity. It cites UNICEF spokesperson James Elder, who states that the humanitarian situation has reached "lethal lows."

The letter closes on a note of collective responsibility, warning that history is watching our actions—or lack thereof. It's a sobering reminder that the world's eyes are on the U.S., waiting to see if it will rise to the occasion.
