Story summary

Gaza artists have painted a mural of American rapper Macklemore, wrapped in a Palestinian flag, on the ruins of Gaza City after he was removed from British singer Ed Sheeran’s tour lineup over criticism of Israel's military actions against Palestinians. The mural depicts Macklemore raising a fist and includes the message "Thank you for using your voice for Palestine." The artists, Anne Redwan and Qusai al-Helo, expressed gratitude to Macklemore for his support amid what they see as persecution in Gaza under siege conditions. Macklemore had previously stated he would donate US$1 million from his tour earnings to aid groups supporting Gaza after the October 2023 conflict between Hamas and Israel.
