Tunisian tennis star Anas Jabeur called on the world to “talk more” about the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, describing the impact of the conflict as “unjust.”
The best Arab player in the history of tennis said that she had actually stopped following the war on social media.
Anas (29 years old) added – yesterday, Friday – that she is “very sad when I watch the news every day, and frankly, I avoid being on social media because what is happening in Gaza now is terrifying.”
The Tunisian player spoke in a press conference after reaching the eighth final of the Roland Garros tournament, the second of the four major tennis tournaments.
The three-time Grand Slam finalist continued, “I hope the year speaks more because what is happening is unfair. These children, women, men, are suffering. We are in the year 2024, and it is very sad to see many countries remaining silent about what is happening.” “.
Anas became a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations World Food Program “to participate in various initiatives, including an initiative focused on the emergency in Gaza,” according to what the organization said at the time.
This comes at a time when bloodshed continues for the eighth month in a row in the besieged Palestinian Strip, as the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the occupation committed 5 new massacres, killing 95 martyrs and 350 injured during the past 24 hours, raising the death toll to 36,379, and the injured to 82,407. Since the seventh of last October.
