Pro-Palestinian Posts Draw Criticism: In a recent Instagram update, Khalifa posted a poignant image of a weeping woman embracing a tree against the backdrop of a military truck. Accompanying the image was a quote by Mahmoud Darwish and the Palestinian flag. While the post received over 200k likes, the comments section was filled with sarcasm and dissent.

Backlash and Concerns: Critics voiced concerns about Khalifa openly supporting a group they deemed as terrorist, highlighting potential dangers she might face. Some questioned her alignment with Hamas, given the group’s actions against unarmed civilians.
Controversy Over Marriage Advice: Prior to this, Khalifa faced backlash for offering advice on leaving unhappy marriages based on her own experiences. While some supported her message of prioritizing happiness, others questioned her credibility to offer such advice given her relationship history.
Defending Her Views: In response, Khalifa defended her stance, asserting that individuals should not feel trapped in unhealthy relationships, even if they made a commitment. She emphasized the importance of self-realization and exercising free will, challenging societal norms surrounding marriage.
Khalifa’s recent posts have not only sparked debates about her political views but also ignited discussions about relationships and personal choices. As the controversy rages on, Khalifa remains unapologetic, standing by her beliefs.
