Los Angeles – The Emmy Awards ceremony in the United States took on a political tone as several artists and attendees raised the slogan “Free Palestine” on stage and on the red carpet, while calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Eyewitnesses reported that many performers wore ribbons and badges in the colors of the Palestinian flag, and some used their speeches to openly criticize Israeli military actions.
The scenes quickly went viral on social media, with the hashtag #FreePalestine trending worldwide. Human rights organizations and pro-Palestinian groups praised the bold expressions, saying that the global artistic community’s voice adds momentum to the movement for a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, some circles linked to Israeli lobby groups expressed disapproval, arguing that entertainment award shows should not be used for political purposes.
