  "account": "US rapper Macklemore concluded his three-date Free Palestine tour with a sold-out performance at OVO Arena Wembley in London on 30 October 2026. The concert featured renowned artists like Paloma Faith, Greta Thunberg, and Palestinian campaigner Arab Barghouti, who addressed the tragic situation in Gaza. Macklemore expressed his discomfort with staying silent about the war on Gaza, emphasizing that speaking out is not brave or courageous. The London concert was organized as a benefit event, with proceeds going to various Palestinian organizations. Greta Thunberg called for political change alongside solidarity, while Paloma Faith questioned the prioritization of her own children over children in Gaza. The tour had previously begun in Dublin and Paris, drawing high-profile support for Palestinian rights and humanitarian relief.",
