Ed Sheeran numește situația din Gaza „de nejustificat”, la primul concert după ce turneul său a intrat în criză

Ed Sheeran addressed the Gaza situation as "catastrophic and unjustifiable" during his concert in Philadelphia, marking his first performance after a controversy surrounding his tour. Following the exclusion of rapper Macklemore due to pro-Palestinian remarks, Sheeran expressed his heartbreak over the devastation in Gaza, emphasizing his desire for music to promote unity rather than politics. The tour faced backlash, with several opening acts withdrawing in support of Palestine. Sheeran denied responsibility for Macklemore's removal, attributing it to the tour organizers. He acknowledged making difficult decisions and expressed regret for the situation, while a small group of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the venue.
