Ed Sheeran calls Gaza situation 'unjustifiable' after Macklemore tour controversy

Pop star Ed Sheeran called the situation in Gaza catastrophic and unjustifiable during a Philadelphia concert, breaking his silence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His remarks came after criticism over the removal of opening act Macklemore from his tour following the rapper's pro-Palestinian comments. Four other supporting acts later withdrew from the tour, citing their support for Palestinians.
