<p>During the 77th Cannes Film Festival, Bella honoured her Palestinians roots and culture after she stepped out wearing a Keffiyeh dress.</p>

<p>Explaining the significance of Keffiyeh, the model wrote in her caption, ''Palestine on my mind, in my blood and on my heart. Always… While I still have to go to work , even through this horror, to wear our culture makes me a proud Palestinian &amp; I want the world to continue to see Palestine, wherever we go. I want to highlight designers that have highlighted the Palestinian cause through the years. This is a Kiffiyeh dress, made by #michaelandhushi @hushi5 in 2001. A beautiful way to represent the history, labor of love, resilience and, most importantly, the art of historic Palestinian embroidery.''</p>

<p>United States President Joe Biden, while speaking at a press conference, said that Israel's ceasefire proposal will have three phases.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added that the first phase will last for six weeks and will include a "full and complete ceasefire"; withdrawal of Israeli forces "from all populated areas of Gaza"; release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly, the wounded in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners' release.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Biden added that Palestinian civilians would be able to return anywhere in Gaza and humanitarian assistance will be increased.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said that the ceasefire plan will allow a "surge" in humanitarian aid and there will be "600 trucks carrying aid into Gaza every single day."</p>

<p>"With a ceasefire, that aid could be safely and effectively distributed to all who need it. All that and more would begin immediately," said Biden.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The phase three of the ceasefire plan will include the return of remains of hostages who were abducted from Israel on October 7 and are now dead.</p>

<p>British-Albanian pop singer Dua Lipa has denounced Israel's offensive in Gaza as a "genocide", after a new pro-Palestinian protest took place in London that saw dozens of people arrested.</p>

<p>"Burning children alive can never be justified. The whole world is mobilising to stop the Israeli genocide", the singer wrote on an Instagram story late Tuesday with the hashtag "#AllEyesOnRafah", which has been trending on social media.</p>
