The musician, 29, took to his Instagram on Tuesday to share his stance.

“Truly hurting for both my Israeli and Palestinian friends,” the singer wrote in his Instagram Story. “Im [sic] pretty sure we all instinctively know evil when we see it.”

“To vilianize [sic] all Palestinians or all Israeli people to me seems wrong. I’m not interested in choosing sides, but I am interested in standing with the families who have been brutally taken from us."

The Gaza Strip has been hit by airstrikes since imposition of complete siege of the besieged territory with Israeli military fighter jets hitting more than 200 targets overnight in a neighbourhood of Gaza City that it said had been used by Hamas to launch its unprecedented wave of attacks.
