What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
The truth is that the Israel-Palestine conflict has nothing to do with these old photos. The first photo dates back to her 2012 visit to a friend’s home in Los Angeles, and the second image is from her 2018 trip to Jordan.
She uploaded the second image in her official Instagram account on April 10, 2018.
We visited Fanpop, which posted the first image of the actress with the caption ” Actress Amber Heard arrived at a friend’s house in Los Angeles, California on February 14, 2012.”

Intent:
Influencers are circulating out-of-context images of actress Amber Heard to set their narrative over the ongoing war. But, after proper research, analysis and fact-checking, we have discovered that there is no connection between the Israel-Palestine conflict and these old photos. She visited friends’ house in Los Angeles in 2012, as seen in the first image, and visited Jordan in 2018; the second image is from that trip.
Conclusion:
Claim : Because American actress Amber Heard wears a keffiyeh, pictures of her are circulating with the assertion that she supports Palestinians.
Fact : These pictures are old and unrelated to the Israel-Palestine conflict. She visited a friend’s home in Los Angeles in 2012, as seen in the first image, and Jordan in 2018 is shown in the second.
