Angelina Jolie has not been in contact with her father for years. The 85-year-old Jon Voight has often publicly criticised his daughter, emphasising among other things that he does not agree with her political views. In the latest interview, the actor has once again added fuel to the fire.

The private life of Angelina Jolie is definitely not a bed of roses. The actress has been engaged in a legal battle with her erstwhile beloved, Brad Pitt, for years, and in tough times she cannot rely on her father's help. Let us recall that the star of the film "Maleficent" severed ties with her father Jon Voight many years ago after he left her mother for a younger lover. A significant obstacle to rebuilding a relationship with his daughter could also be the conservative views of the 85-year-old, who is a declared Donald Trump fan.

Over the decades, Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie have frequently exchanged biting remarks in the media and have not spared each other from criticism. In mid-June, the 85-year-old actor congratulated his daughter and granddaughter for winning four Tony Awards for the musical "The Outsiders", admitting that he is "proud" of Angelina and Vivienne. However, it seems this is as far as the friendship goes from his side. In the latest interview with "Variety", the star of the film "John Paul II" criticised Jolie for her stand on the Israel-Hamas war.

She has been exposed to propaganda. ... She’s been influenced by antisemitic people. Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she’s enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees - said the 85-year-old.

Jon Voight spoke in a similar vein about his daughter in November of last year, just after the conflict broke out. He posted his statement in the form of a recording on Instagram.

Im very disappointed that my daughter, like so many, has no understanding of God’s honour. God’s truths. This is about destroying the history of God’s land, the Holy Land. The Land of the Jews. This is justice for God’s children of the Holy Land. The Israeli army must protect thy soil, thy people. This is war. It’s not going to be what the left thinks, it can’t be civil now - Voight said.
