Egyptian superstar Sherine Abdel-Wahab's concert set to take place at the Arena Kuwait (TAK) in Kuwait, on Thursday (November 9) has been postponed to a later date. 

The concert, held as a part of the 2023 Leylat Omer Festival, was postponed in solidarity with Palestine.

On October 7, Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel by land, sea, and air.

It said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers. The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.

At least 7,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, while the figure stands at more than 1,400 people in Israel.

Amid worldwide condemnation, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to ease the “epic human suffering.”
