Tunisian actress Hend Sabry has announced her full support for a humanitarian convoy named “Caravan of Resilience,” which recently set off towards the Rafah border crossing, carrying medical and food aid for the people of Gaza.

Sabry posted photos and videos documenting the convoy on her official platforms, accompanied by messages highlighting the humanitarian nature of the initiative. She described it as “a message from the Arab conscience to the human conscience.”

Widespread Social Media Engagement
A large segment of the Arab public engaged with Hend Sabry’s posts, praising her humanitarian stance and commending her for showing solidarity with the suffering of civilians in Gaza. Despite the purely humanitarian tone of the posts, controversy still arose, with some questioning the timing and context of the publication. Sabry later deleted one of the posts and restricted comments—seemingly to avoid any misunderstanding.
Calls on Social Media to Revoke Her Egyptian Citizenship
Amid the controversy, some individual social media users called for Hend Sabry’s Egyptian citizenship to be revoked, even though she had made no political statements nor said anything negative about Egypt.
These calls, however, received no official response, and no legal or governmental body in Egypt has indicated any intention or action in this regard.
It’s worth noting that Hend Sabry holds both Tunisian and Egyptian nationalities. She acquired Egyptian citizenship years ago, resides in Cairo, and is considered one of the most prominent actresses in Egypt and the Arab world.
Syndicate’s Position: No Official Comment Yet
The Actors Syndicate has not issued any official statement or clarification regarding Hend Sabry’s support for the convoy, and no actions have been taken against her.
A source within the syndicate stated that matters are always viewed from a professional and legal perspective, noting that “any artist has the right to express humanitarian sentiments as long as they do not violate laws or public norms.”

Hend Sabry: A Solid Career Between Egypt and Tunisia
Since the beginning of her career, Hend Sabry has considered Egypt her second home. Cairo has served as the launchpad for a career that has spanned decades, including prominent roles in television and film, earning her acclaim from audiences and critics alike.
She also serves as a Goodwill Ambassador for the World Food Programme and is active in various humanitarian and rights-related causes.
The Artist and Human Conscience
Hend Sabry’s recent stance has reignited debate over the role of Arab artists in humanitarian causes, and once again raised questions about freedom of expression within complex cultural contexts.
However, many believe her position remains squarely within the bounds of humanitarian solidarity and does not include any transgressions against any country—reflecting her consistent commitment to respecting the audiences and societies she belongs to.

Final Message
Amid the region’s complexities, initiatives like the one Hend Sabry supported stand out as a vivid expression of the Arab artist’s commitment to values that transcend geography and politics, serving the interests of the people. Ultimately, the strongest message remains: humanity is not measured by nationality, but by the stance one takes.
