Bardem has been speaking out against Israel's war on Gaza for a number of months now. This speech is one of them. At the 2024 San Sebastián Film Festival, Bardem said that he didn't like keeping quiet. He said that the war was a genocide happening "in front of our eyes and in 4K" at the New York opening of the movie F1. He also said that the Israeli government was breaking international law by committing "crimes against humanity."
During an interview on ABC's "The View," he said these things again to support his point of view.
Bardem's strong stance has been praised by people who fight for human rights around the world, but it has also been criticized by people who back Israel. Even so, he has argued that staying quiet about these kinds of crimes is like betraying humanity.

ALBAWABA - US President Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, is heading to the region to discuss a ceasefire in Gaza amid deteriorating situation and ongoing war, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce announced Tuesday at a press conference at the State Department in Washington. Also Read Ten AFP journalists are at risk of starvation in Gaza Bruce said, "During my conversation today with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he indicated that the special envoy is now heading to the Middle East, and everyone—the president, the secretary, and the special envoy—is optimistic about progress in the ceasefire negotiations and about a humanitarian corridor for the flow of aid agreed to by both sides." She added that the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio proposed the idea of an aid corridor in Gaza that would allow multiple entities to deliver aid without it being "hijacked by Hamas". She maintained, "The humanitarian situation in Gaza requires a ceasefire and a corridor for the movement of humanitarian aid convoys." On the other hand, activists staged a protest in front of the US State Department in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday evening, protesting the continued starvation policy in Gaza and the killing of Palestinian civilians attempting to get humanitarian aid from aid distribution centers in Gaza, which is monitorized by a US-backed organization. They also denounced continued US support for the Israeli occupation.

US announces leaving UN cultural body UNESCO
The United States on Tuesday announced it has left UNESCO, saying the UN cultural and education agency, best known for establishing world heritage sites, is biased against 'Israel' and promotes "divisive" causes. "Continued involvement in UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States," the State Department spokeswoman said. The US exit was expected under President Donald Trump, who also ordered withdrawal from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2017 during his first term. President Joe Biden then reestablished US membership. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce described UNESCO as working "to advance divisive social and cultural causes" and being overly focused on UN sustainability goals, which she described as a "globalist, ideological agenda." Bruce also highlighted what she said was the body's anti-'Israeli' position in admitting Palestine as a state. "UNESCO's decision to admit the 'State of Palestine' as a member state is highly problematic, contrary to US policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-'Israel' rhetoric within the organization," Bruce said. The UN organization describes its mission as promoting education, scientific cooperation and cultural understanding. It oversees a list of heritage sites aimed at preserving unique environmental and architectural gems, ranging from the Great Barrier Reef off Australia and the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Athens Acropolis and Pyramids of Egypt. Trump was not the first to pull the United States out of UNESCO. President Ronald Reagan ended US membership in the 1980s, saying the agency was corrupt and pro-Soviet. The United States reentered under the presidency of George W. Bush.
