Susan Sarandon cites probe on 'Israeli' Gaza strikes that ‘evaporated’ civilians

• Susan Sarandon highlights an investigation into 'Israeli' strikes in Gaza that allegedly left civilians “evaporated."

Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon used her social media platform on Wednesday to criticize 'Israel’s' military campaign in Gaza, drawing attention to reports of US-supplied munitions being used in strikes that have caused devastating civilian casualties.

In a story on her Instagram account, Sarandon shared an investigation published a few days ago, which stated that Palestinians have “evaporated” in targeted 'Israeli' attacks on Gaza during the two-year genocide.

Continued Activism on Gaza and West Bank

Sarandon has remained a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights throughout the conflict.

In January 2026, she co-signed an open letter alongside actors Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Cynthia Nixon, urging 'Israel' to restore healthcare services in Gaza and the West Bank. The letter cited the collapse of medical infrastructure, attacks on hospitals, and the detention of medical personnel, calling for urgent humanitarian intervention.

In 2025, she joined the steering committee of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian-led initiative aimed at challenging 'Israel’s' naval blockade and delivering aid to Gaza. The flotilla, which included climate activist Greta Thunberg, was intercepted by 'Israeli' forces in October 2025.

Earlier that year, Sarandon spearheaded another open letter signed by more than 600 cultural figures calling on the BBC to broadcast the documentary Gaza: Medics Under Fire, accusing the network of suppressing Palestinian perspectives.

Sarandon has continued to criticize 'Israel’s' military actions, repeatedly characterizing them as genocide. She has said her activism has cost her roles in Hollywood, with projects halted and opportunities declining since late 2023. At one point, she described herself as “an example of what not to do” within the entertainment industry.

Longstanding Advocacy

Sarandon’s support for Palestinian causes predates the current war. She has publicly backed figures such as Bella Hadid and Emma Watson and served as a producer on the documentary Soufra, which chronicles life inside a Palestinian refugee camp.

Through protests, public statements, and humanitarian advocacy, Sarandon continues to call for a ceasefire and expanded relief efforts in Gaza and the West Bank.

Her latest remarks add to her sustained involvement in the issue, reinforcing her position as one of Hollywood’s most prominent and polarizing political voices amid the ongoing conflict.
