"I'm ashamed of you. You should be ashamed of yourself. You live in Nazareth, act and star in our TV shows and films, and then stab us in the back," her Israeli co-star Ofer Shechter said.
Arab-Israeli actress Maisa Abdel Hadi was arrested by police for allegedly expressing support for Hamas' attack on Israel. She has been taken into custody on the suspicion of "incitement to terrorism" over a social media post, police and her lawyer said Tuesday. She is one of several Arab Israelis imprisoned because of social media remarks about the ongoing conflict.
The 37-year-old actress has starred in various Israeli shows, the Hollywood blockbuster "World War Z," and, most recently, the British television series "Baghdad Central." Ms Hadi posted a picture of a bulldozer breaching the fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel during the October 7 attack. "Let's go Berlin-style," she wrote in a caption in reference to the fall of the Berlin Wall that partitioned Germany until 1989. As per the Times of Israel, the actress also shared images of 85-year-old woman Yaffa Adar who was taken hostage by Hamas with laughing emojis.
