Bella Hadid is not afraid to use her platform and get political.

The international supermodel shared an emotional defense of Palestinians with her 16 million Instagram followers on Thursday.

Hadid denounced President Donald Trump s decision to recognize Jerusalem the capital of Israel on Wednesday. The 21-year-olds father, Mohamed, posted a similar image of the Dome of The Rock in Jerusalem after Trumps speech, calling the moment the saddest day of his life. Mohamed is Palestinian.

Seeing the sadness of my father, cousins, and Palestinian family that are feeling for our Palestinian ancestors makes this even harder to write, Hadid wrote on Instagram. Jerusalem is home of all religions. For this to happen, I feel, makes us take 5 steps back making it harder to live in a world of peace. The TREATMENT of the Palestinian people is unfair, one-sided and should not be tolerated. I stand with Palestine.
