Megyn Kelly slams Gigi Hadid for claiming Israel is 'only country' that keeps kids as prisoners of war
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former NBC and Fox News star Megyn Kelly has come out with all guns blazing against supermodel Gigi Hadid who recently claimed that Israel is the “only country” that keeps “kids as Prisoners of War.”
Hadid posted on Instagram, sharing a story featuring a picture of Ahmed Almanasra, whom she claimed was "abducted by the Israeli occupation at the age of 12."
Kelly refuted this assertion on her show, clarifying that Almansara was "arrested in East Jerusalem" after going on a killing rampage.
The veteran journalist expressed anger at Hadid's statement, even challenging IMG Models, Hadid's agency, to respond to the supermodel's anti-Israel stance.
Megyn Kelly slams Gigi Hadid for her anti-Israel post
During the discussion on the release of hostages on both sides, Kelly mentioned Hadid's Instagram post where she asserted that Israel keeps "kids as Prisoners of War."
Speaking about Hadid, Kelly said, “A supermodel of Palestinian descent, she posts that Israel is the only country in the world that keeps children as Prisoners of War.”
Kelly showcased Hadid's Instagram story featuring a photo of Ahmed Almanasra, claiming that he had been kept in solitary confinement "despite his severe health condition."
She continued to address Hadid’s post and said, “And she posts pictures of these guys who went on a stabbing rampage in East Jerusalem, they knifed a security guard, they hit a 13-year-old boy who suffered critical injuries and it was all on video. But she [Gigi] wants us to condemn Israel.”
Kelly mentioned that Hadid was now accusing Israel of "body harvesting, including the present day, of innocent Palestinians."
The former Fox News star portrayed the grim aspect of the argument, suggesting that Hadid might not be fired from her job because she generates a significant amount of revenue for everyone involved.
“There’s nothing you can say to get you fired from IMG Models or from Hollywood apparently right now if you are bankable and you make people money with your face,” Kelly stated.
