In a move that will definitely go down well with everybody and definitely won’t come back to haunt him at a later date, actor Leonardo DiCaprio has invested $10 million in a luxury hotel project in Tel Aviv for a 10pc stake. The project received final approvals recently and is expected to begin construction.

Israeli Hagag Group, the primary developers of the eco-friendly hotel, said it will feature approximately 365 rooms across two buildings, with a central swimming pool. The complex will also include a conference centre, restaurant, commercial spaces and a yacht marina. The group said DiCaprio was brought on for his background in environmentalism.

In case he missed it, Israel has been rampaging through Gaza for over 21 months now. At least 60,000 Palestinians are confirmed to have been killed during this military occupation and just under two million have been displaced. As the government in Tel Aviv faces pressures from the UN for pushing Gaza to the brink of famine, people are horrified at the announcement about DiCaprio’s venture. The internet was quick to call the actor out for investing in a country responsible for so much suffering and bloodshed.
