Hollywood actor Richard Gere is appearing in a TV commercial being broadcast to Palestinians urging them to get out and vote in Sundays leadership elections. It appears that he may have overstepped his sphere of influence, since few know who he is.
In the appeal, Gere says "Hi, I'm Richard Gere and I'm speaking for the entire world. We're with you during this election time. It's really important. Get out and vote". Palestinians are less than impressed, especially when told he is an American.
One factory worker said "We don't need the Americans' intervention. We know who to elect. Not like them - they elected a moron".
