Mia Khalifa has again weighed in on Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon following the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and a strike on Beirut killing a Hezbollah leader, accusing the Jewish state of having no interest in peace.
She also expressed outrage at the recent scandal in Israel surrounding army soldiers alleged rape of Palestinian detainees.
Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American former adult film actress turned activist and social media influencer.
“Bombing Beirut and Tehran in the same day, to assassinate the ceasefire negotiator, the week ceasefire negotiations were taking place. They keep showing us they have no interest in a peace, only total extermination and colonization,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
On Tuesday night and the early hours of Wednesday, Israel successively killed Hezbollah military advisor Fuad Shukr with 5 civilians in a Beirut strike; then Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Haniyeh was part of the negotiating team representing Hamas in ceasefire talks with Israel mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States.

Israel’s escalation, pretexting an earlier rocket hit on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, has thrown the fate of these talks into the unknown, risking an all-out war as Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas vowed a response.
Earlier, Khalifa wrote on X: “Riots in Isr*el by members of the IOF [Israely army] to protest … *checks notes*… the right to sexually assault and rape Palestinian prisoners”.
This was in reference to allegations of systematic Israeli torture and sexual violence against Palestinian detainees including at the Sde Teiman detention facility, dubbed Israel’s Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. The attempt by the Israeli government to investigate triggered protest by far-right Israelis who publically defended their soldiers’ ‘right to rape and torture’ Palestinian ‘terrorists’.
Khalifa, who garners millions of followers on her social media platforms, has gained attention in recent years after she waded into politics and social issues.
She has also been expressing strong views in support of the Palestinian people during Israel’s war on Gaza, earning her the ire of supporters of the Jewish state and its genocidal actions in the occupied Palestinian territories.
In October, US adult entertainment enterprise Playboy announced it had cut ties with Mia Khalifa for statements she made after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel.
