Following the terrorist group’s attack on her country, Israeli actress Rona-Lee Shimon, best known for her part in the popular online series ‘Fauda,’ voiced her sympathy for Hamas. The actress feels obligated to act after seeing the loss of innocent lives in Hamas attacks.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Shimon candidly discussed the Hamas brutality. When asked if she’s ready to fight against Hamas, Shimon responded, “I will do everything in my power to have Israel win.”
The actor has appreciated India’s solidarity with Israel and its condemnation of the October 7 attack by Hamas terrorists from the blockaded Gaza Strip into Israeli towns resulting in the loss of hundreds of Israeli civilian lives and the capture of more than 100 hostages. Israel swiftly retaliated with airstrikes on Gaza that have killed hundreds of Palestinians.
“Honestly. I feel grateful to have an ally, a beautiful ally like India. India is one of my favourite places on Earth. I love its people. I can really understand why the first thing that you guys did was to condemn the horrible action of October 7th in Israel. I would expect nothing less, but I want to say with utmost gratefulness in my heart. I think it’s the best thing that you guys can do for us is condemn this horrible terror and stand by your side.”
Shimon struggled to control her emotions recalling the brutal events on October 7 perpetrated by Hamas. “We’re in the midst of a war. It’s going to result in more suffering for many lives, but we will prevail. We are preparing, and our first priority is to bring our hostages home,” she said.
On Saturday, the Israeli military confirmed that 126 people are being held as hostages by Hamas. According to media reports the Palestinian terror group has warned that it will kill hostages in response to unannounced Israeli strikes on civilian targets.
