Mia Khalifa has expressed her stance on the Middle East conflict through a series of controversial social media posts.
According to the New York Post, the former adult film star celebrated Hamas' recent attack on Israel in a post on X.
Claimed as a terrorist group by the DFA, Hamas carried out a violent assault on Israel.
This attack led to hundreds of casualties, involving unconventional methods such as paragliding into key targets, including a techno music festival, and firing upon civilians.
Israel responded with missile attacks on Gaza, causing further casualties.

“If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid, and history will show that in time,” Mia Khalifa stated on X, formally Twitter, on Saturday.
In a separate, now deleted, post on X, Khalifa called a photo of Hamas terrorists a “Renaissance painting.”
The Lebanese-American celebrity has faced online criticism, with numerous X users interpreting her posts as supportive of Hamas' attack.
Comments such as: "This is probably the worst comment I’ve ever seen on any social platform" and "You are pure evil...wow" quickly arose.
I’m sorry but does anyone actually take this girl seriously ??
