WASHINGTON, July 8, 2025 (WAFA) – US singer Lana Del Rey has expressed on Monday her hopes that a ceasefire would be reached in the Gaza Strip, saying it's her 'greatest wish' as she watched the news.
This came in a post the The 11-time Grammy nominee made in which she shared a message of support for people affected by the deadly flash floods in Texas, noting that she feels “so sorry for everyone who’s going through this” in reference to the people affected by the torrential downpours in central Texas.
Under the post, Del Rey made a comment in which she reminded her fans of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
“And yes of course we pray for Palestine every day,” the 40-year-old singer wrote in response to fans questioning why she was speaking out about the floods but not about Gaza.
"I was very hopeful when we were getting close to a peace treaty. And that was my greatest wish as I’ve watched the news unfold from a far," she added.
"It’s always difficult to watch any innocent victims killed by crimes of war," Del Rey wrote. "There is never a good way of wording things that will make all people happy but that is my personal truth. Politically I do keep up and have been very much hoping for cease fire. This is a long ongoing conflict and one I’ve studied hard to understand. It’s heartbreaking and unfathomable to think there hasn’t been a way to find some resolution."
"It’s a topic of conversation in many of my daily conversations and we’re constantly considering what we can do to contribute in all situations like this," she added. "I always have been."
