More than 350 rabbis and dozens of Jewish creatives and activists have signed a full-page ad in The New York Times condemning Trump’s proposal for the forced removal of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

The ad features signatories from diverse Jewish denominations and notable figures such as playwright Tony Kushner, comedian and actor Ilana Glazer and Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix.

“Trump has now called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza. Jewish people say NO to ethnic cleansing!” it said.

The signatories emphasised their moral opposition to any plan that would displace Palestinians, drawing on historical parallels and ethical imperatives. Cody Edgerly, director of the In Our Name Campaign, underscored the ad’s timing.

“Our message to Palestinians is that you are not alone, our attention has not wavered and we are committed to fighting with every breath we have to stop ethnic cleansing in Gaza,” he said.
