The 'Together for Palestine' campaign is started by a group of well-known Hollywood celebrities who are calling for an immediate end to hostilities in Gaza and the West Bank and are planning a benefit concert to support Palestinian relief organizations. Along with balancing important forthcoming projects, the effort highlights the role that artists like Cillian Murphy, Billie Eilish, and Joaquin Phoenix play in keeping politicians accountable.
Video Plea from Hollywood to Gaza
Prominent Hollywood figures, including Cillian Murphy, Billie Eilish, Joaquin Phoenix, Brian Cox, Steve Coogan, Penélope Cruz, Benedict Wong, and many more, united under the banner of 'Together for Palestine' in a stirring one-minute video, on 17th September, that was made public online to call for an end to the violence in Gaza and the West Bank.

The message is clear: demand a ceasefire, put an end to the murders, exert pressure on governments, and encourage nonviolent protest. In addition to actors and artists, the video highlights the need of speaking truth to power by keeping in front poets, novelists, and activists such as Nan Goldin and Malala Yousafzai.
Benefit Concert & Aid Commitments
In light of this campaign, Brian Eno has planned a massive benefit event at London's OVO Arena Wembley that coincides with the debut of the video. Along with performances by Celeste, Leigh-Anne, PinkPantheress, Rina Sawayama, Riz Ahmed, Palestinian musicians Elyanna, Saint Levant, and El Far3i, the concert, which is also live-streamed, features artists such as Damon Albarn, Bastille, Cat Burns, Hot Chip, James Blake, and Jamie xx.

The Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Palestine Medical Relief Service, and Taawon are among the Palestinian-led organizations that will benefit from all earnings.
The request is made in the midst of growing violence in the West Bank and Gaza, where there are numerous reports of ongoing conflict-related humanitarian crises and civilian casualties. In order to ensure that human rights are upheld, the campaigners contend that leaders must be held responsible and that worldwide attention must be focused.
What's Are the Stars Working On?
On the work front, Cillian Murphy's next movie, 'Steve,' will be available in theaters and on Netflix starting in early October 2025. In the upcoming 'Peaky Blinders' film, he is also playing Tommy Shelby again.
Billie Eilish has been speaking out about the problem for months and is still using her platform for activism, while Joaquin Phoenix just starred in the film 'Eddington' (2025), which has garnered notice for its themes. Their artistic endeavours and social advocacy appear to be purposefully aligned: leveraging visibility to advocate for change.
