"Palestine is in my thoughts, in my blood, in my heart. Always\u2026" wrote Bella Hadid in English expressing her feelings as a person of Palestinian descent, on her private Instagram account @bellahadid. This time, Bella showed her support for her ancestral land in a very stylish way. She wore a dress with a keffiyeh pattern, a traditional Palestinian fabric that has become a symbol of resistance against Israel."

Bella is proud to wear this red and white dress and also appreciates the American-Iranian designer who consistently supports Palestine, Hushidar Mortezaie. "This dress is a Keffiyeh dress, made by #michaelandhushi @hushi5 in 2001. A beautiful way to represent the history, hard work full of love, resilience, and most importantly, the historic embroidery art of Palestine," Bella wrote.

The largest part of the keffiyeh is the pattern that resembles a fishnet. It has a connection between Palestinian fishermen and the sea. This pattern symbolizes abundance and blessings. "For many of us, the sea also means Freedom. Especially for Palestinian residents in the West Bank, who do not have access to the sea due to movement restrictions," writes Bella.

Bella also invites her fans to be aware of the situation currently happening in Gaza. She encourages everyone to follow accounts that report directly from the field and to educate themselves about the ongoing occupation and genocide in Gaza and Raffah. Source: Instagram @bellahadid.
