Mostafa Zamani condemns Israeli attacks on Gaza as "heartbreaking"

At the 2nd Tunisian Theater Festival, Mostafa Zamani expressed sorrow over violence against Palestinians in Gaza and Lebanon

In a recent press conference held on the sidelines of the 2nd Tunisian National Theater Festival, acclaimed Iranian actor Mostafa Zamani voiced his sorrow over the ongoing violence against the people in Gaza and Lebanon, describing it as “heartbreaking”.

“Seeing the images of the brutal attacks by the Israeli regime on the defenseless people of Gaza and Lebanon is extremely distressing for me,” said Zamani, known internationally for his role in the television series ‘Prophet Joseph’.

According to the Tunisian media reports on Wednesday, Zamani highlighted the human toll of the violence, with houses, hospitals, and civilians—including women and children—becoming targets in Gaza. “The fact that homes, hospitals, and innocent people are being attacked in Gaza by the Zionist regime is, for me, truly heartbreaking,” he said.

In his remarks, Zamani called for an immediate ceasefire, underscoring the urgent need for relief for civilians who have endured some of the most intense attacks over the past year.

"I believe the best step forward right now is to establish a ceasefire in Gaza, so the people, who have been under brutal assaults for over a year, can be spared further suffering," he added.

Zamani also urged Arab nations to strengthen solidarity with Palestinians through symbolic acts, such as sharing images and videos of Gaza's resilience across social media.

He stressed that these demonstrations of support could help ensure that the atrocities and “genocidal war” launched by the Israeli regime against Gaza do not become normalized or accepted in society.

“Sharing scenes of the Palestinian people's resistance on social networks will strengthen solidarity and help prevent the ethnic cleansing being waged by the Zionist regime from becoming acceptable,” he said.

While expressing his admiration for the resilience of the Palestinian people, Zamani noted that the arts and cinema offer a platform to highlight this resistance. However, he mentioned that he has not yet been presented with any specific scripts or roles related to the Palestinian cause or Israeli attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.

Concluding his remarks, Zamani emphasized that Israel's goal in its attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, and even Iran over the past year appears to be aimed at dismantling Palestinian resistance movements like Hamas and Hezbollah. However, he stressed that Israel would ultimately “fail to achieve its objectives”.

Zamani, who achieved fame through his role as Joseph, attended the Tunisian National Theater Festival as an honorary guest.

The festival is set to conclude on Thursday, November 14.
