The Israeli bombing of Gaza leaves no one indifferent, as a large number of civilians have been killed in the last three weeks.
Debates and controversies are lively on social networks and there are numerous positions.
In France, influencer of Algerian origin Maeva Ghennam, former reality TV contestant, supports Palestine. Followed by 3.2 million internet users on Instagram, she even went so far as to break the contract that bound her to her pro-Israel agent Magali Berdah, BFM TV reports.
The influencer announced in a story last Sunday that she was terminating her contract with the agency Shauna Events, run by her agent Magali Berdah.
Maeva Ghennam expressed a position on October 14 that contradicted that of her agent. “Are we talking about all the deaths in Palestine? We’re talking about them evicting people every day from their own homes they grew up in, we’re talking about all these deaths? “wrote the influencer.
The disagreement between Maeva Ghennam and her agent Magali Berdah, who expressed sadness following the October 7 Hamas offensive, ultimately affected the two women’s professional relationship.
Magali Berdah confirmed the termination of the contract between her agency Shauna Events and Maeva Ghennam, BFM TV reported.
Shein boycotted Israel over Palestine
According to Al Sharq Business media, the Chinese online sales platform Shein drew the ire of Israeli users on social networks who did not appreciate the marketing of a Palestinian flag and the absence of the flag of Israel on the site.
In Israel, where the Shein platform is widely used, calls for a boycott have been launched. The Chinese platform had to remove the Palestinian flag from sale, the same source adds.
As a result of this controversy, Chinese e-commerce giant Shein has canceled its collaboration with Israeli influencers and stopped free deliveries to Israel, Al Sharq Business reported.
