Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon, 57, declared a hunger strike outside the White House, passionately appealing for a lasting ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. "Almost 15,000 Palestinian civilians, 70% children and women, killed in seven weeks – unprecedented and unacceptable," Nixon stated. Joined by five state representatives, they implored President Biden to act. Representative Zohran Mamdani emphasized, "We starve ourselves to shed light on Palestinians' suffering." Author Sumaya Awad added, "Biden must heed hundreds of thousands of Americans protesting." Nixon's hunger strike aims to spotlight the crisis's urgency, advocating for immediate relief from both violence and the threat of starvation.
