CNN political commentator Van Jones issued an apology via X on Sunday regarding remarks he made about the fatalities of children in Gaza during his appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher” last Friday.

“I expressed a thought on ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ that was insensitive and damaging. I sincerely apologize,” Jones stated. “The plight of those suffering in Gaza—especially the children—is not a mere joke. I am truly sorry it was interpreted that way. The situation faced by children in Gaza is simply heartbreaking. As a father, I can hardly imagine the anguish their parents are feeling, being unable to shield their children from such immense suffering.”

Jones added, “I’m actively praying for an immediate cessation of this conflict, and for the peace and security of every family impacted by it. I deeply regret the distress my words may have caused to those already experiencing unspeakable hardship.”

During his appearance on “Real Time,” Jones remarked on the disturbing images circulating on social media as a result of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, prompting backlash from viewers. He commented, “Iran and Qatar have launched an extensive disinformation campaign through platforms like TikTok and Instagram. For young people, what they see on their screens is—dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, and on it goes.”

The situation in Gaza has captured significant attention in Hollywood. On September 10, over 3,900 industry professionals, including Emma Stone, Olivia Colman, Ayo Edebiri, and Lily Gladstone, committed to refraining from collaborating with Israeli film companies that they believe “whitewash or justify genocide and apartheid, or collaborate with the government responsible for these acts.”

Shortly thereafter, 1,200 individuals from the Hollywood community, such as Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik, and Debra Messing, signed an open letter opposing the boycott against Israeli film entities. The statement asserted that “to silence those striving for common ground and to express their humanity is incorrect, ineffective, and amounts to collective punishment.”
