Manchester United icon Eric Cantona has expressed his solidarity with those defending the human rights of innocent Palestinians amid the Israel-Palestine conflict.

On October 7, Hamas launched a devastating attack on Israel by launching thousands of rockets which resulted in hundreds dying and thousands left injured.

As a result, Israel officially declared war a day later. Thousands of Palestinians have been killed due to their counter-attack, making the deadliest conflict between both nations in 50 years.

Najwa Zebian, an author and activist posted the following on her Instagram page, which Manchester United icon Eric Cantona reposted on his own account:

"Defending the human rights of Palestinians does not mean you are pro-Hamas. Saying "Free Palestine" does not mean you are anti-Semitic or "want all the Jews gone." "Free Palestine" means free Palestinians from the Israeli occupation that's been robbing them their basic human rights for 75 years.""Free Palestine" means stop caging 2.3 million Palestinians in the world's largest open air prison, half of whom are children. "Free Palestine" means end the apartheid imposed by the Israeli government. "Free Palestine" means give the Palestinians control over the basic infrastructure in their land."
