Juliet Stevenson on Gaza: ‘I’m disappointed by the silence in my industry’ 14.01.2026

British actress Juliet Stevenson has become a prominent advocate for Palestinians, actively participating in rallies, delivering speeches, and producing films to highlight the "brutality of Israel’s atrocities on Gaza and the occupied West Bank." She recently joined other cultural figures in a letter to Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts, urging pressure on the UK government to allow essential aid, including maternity and hygiene supplies, into Gaza. Stevenson expressed deep disappointment with the perceived silence from her industry and other cultural institutions regarding the situation, likening inaction to collusion. She emphasized her commitment to activism, stating that her career is secondary to the lives of Palestinian children and that she believes in speaking out against injustice, drawing parallels to historical events and the need for Jewish people to feel secure without perpetrating harm.
