Bono calls for Israel to be 'released from Netanyahu' in plea to 'stop war'

Bono calls for Israel to be 'released from Netanyahu' in plea to 'stop war'
Bono, the U2 frontman and longtime activist, didn’t hold back at a recent awards ceremony, urging Israel to break free from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership and what he called "far-right fundamentalists." His emotional plea was a direct call to end the ongoing war, blending his signature star power with political advocacy.
Editor’s Note: When a globally recognized figure like Bono wades into geopolitics, it amplifies the conversation—whether you agree with him or not. His comments reflect growing frustration among some public figures over the war’s toll, but they’ll also likely stir debate about celebrities weighing in on complex conflicts. It’s a reminder that fame can turn personal opinions into international headlines overnight.
