And now, over two months after the initial event, Noah Schnapp has released a TikTok addressing the backlash. He said that he only wants “peace and safety for the innocent people,” and that his “thoughts and beliefs have been so far misconstrued from anything even close to what I believe.”

He said: “I’ve had many open conversations with friends with a Palestinian background and I think they are very important conversations to have and I’ve learned a lot.

“One of the takeaways I’ve had is that we all hope for the same things – that being those innocent people being held hostage in Gaza to be returned to their families and equally hope for the end to the war and the loss of innocent life in Palestine – so many of those people being women and children.”

Noah added: “And I think anyone with any ounce of humanity would hope for an end to the hostilities on both sides. I stand against any killing of any innocent people.”
