"Christmas is a time when families come together to celebrate, yet the brutal war in the Middle East continues, especially the death and destruction in Gaza. This year, we celebrate Christmas with very heavy hearts and share the pain of those families who grieve for their lost loved ones. Please do not forget them or grow accustomed to their suffering. Merry Christmas," with these words, Mohamed Salah's recent message about what is happening in the besieged sector captured the attention of over 35 million followers in about 9 hours. After Salah, the Liverpool top scorer, posted the message on his X account alongside a black and white image of a Christmas tree, social media users engaged by commenting in support of their favorite star's words. The platforms buzzed as users shared Salah's message, emphasizing that it touched their hearts and resonated with their pain regarding the plight of the people of Gaza. This marks the second time Salah has addressed the besieged Gaza Strip; he previously posted a video message on October 18, calling for an end to violence and the immediate entry of food and medical aid into Gaza, which reached over 180 million followers.
