Is Malala's condemnation of Israeli War Crimes enough to redeem her controversial collaboration with Hillary Clinton?

Pakistan’s youngest nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai faced severe backlash after she paired up with the former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for a music video.

According to The New York Times, Suffs is a new musical about women’s suffrage that traces the campaign for women’s right to vote back to the early 20th century. 

Malala Yousafzai has co-produced "Suffs" with Hillary Clinton, which was not received well by the netizens.

Social media users called out her for maintaining silence over the genocide in Gaza and opting to collaborate with the former US first lady, who has consistently denied the gross human rights violations being committed by Israel in Palestine.

US President, Joe Biden’s close aide, Hillary, despite Israel’s evident onslaught against Gaza civilians, rejected calls for a ceasefire, stating, "It is not possible," as it would be deemed as "a gift to Hamas."

However, Malala has come forward to clear the air about her stance on the issue of Gaza.

Taking to Instagram, the 26-year-old educationalist wrote: "I wanted to speak today because I want there to be no confusion about my support for the people of Gaza."

"We have all watched the relentless atrocities against Palestinian people for more than six months now with anger and despair. This week's news of mass graves discovered at Gaza's Nasser and al-Shifa hospitals is yet another reminder of the horrors Palestinians are facing. It is hard enough to watch from afar - I don't know how Palestinians bear it in their bones. We do not need to see more dead bodies, bombed schools and starving children to understand that a ceasefire is urgent and necessary," Malala said.

Yousufzai said that she has and "will continue to condemn the Israeli government for its violations of international law and war crimes".

She also applauded "efforts by those determined to hold Israelis to account", asserting that she would keep calling on world leaders to push for a ceasefire and to ensure the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid

"I stand against any form of violence against innocent civilians, including the taking of prisoners and hostages. And I stand in solidarity with the people in Gaza whose voices and demands must be heard," Malala added.

"When we see alarming signs of genocide, we cannot wait to take decisive action. We must work together to urge our leaders to stop these war crimes and hold perpetrators to account."

At least 34,262 Palestinians have been killed and 77,229 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
