The entire world is consumed by yet another war in 2023. The almost century-long conflict between Israel-Palestine conflict reached a boiling point in September which sparked the war. The war has claimed countless victims, including soldiers and civilians, and even women and children. This war has become an international incident, and the UN is trying to take a stance on this ugliness and resolve it as soon as possible. However, while the bureaucracy takes its time, everyone around the globe is talking about the incident and sharing their thoughts on it. Max Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, also took to Instagram to share her views and give tribute to the victims.
The Brazilian model and a political science scholar shared her heartfelt message toward the victims of the war. Piquet used her social media to spread the word similar to many others.

One post shared by Piquet read, “We can hold multiple truths and push for what is just. There’s a clear Humanitarian Crisis unfolding before our eyes. We must have the capacity to acknowledge the pain and loss of the Israeli and Palestinian communities. The trauma, pain and anger are real. We must also have the capacity to hold on to the urgent need for support and allyship for the Palestinian peoples who have been pushed into yet-another forced relocation, killed in designated places of refuge, and denied access to humanitarian aid – no access to water, electricity or food- violating explicit international humanitarian laws. The history of oppression is real and our ability to demand justice is needed now.”
A story that followed was with a caption that prayed for the lives that were lost every day in the war. It read, “Hoping all the souls lost since October 7th are resting in peace, high up in the sky, watching over their loved ones.”
Stories are not the only way Piquet is using her platform against the war. She also made a hefty donation in an effort to support the victims of the war. In fact, she’s not the only one, the entire world sporting or otherwise is speaking up and doing their part.
