UK police launched an investigation after performers and viewers chanted anti-Israeli slogans at a music festival in Glastonbury.The Israeli Embassy and officials of the British government condemned the incident, calling it inciting and possibly criminal.
On Friday, punk rap duo associate Bob Vylan shouted "Death of the IDF [Israeli defence Forces]" and another pro-Palestinian slogans during a live broadcast performance by the BBC.

Films made available on social media show a crowd – any waving Palestinian flags – repeating shouts.Avon and Somerset police reported in a post on X that officers are reviewing video recordings ‘to find whether any criminal offences could have been committed which would have required criminal investigations to be initiated’.

Israeli Embassy in London declared that there is “deeply afraid about the fierce and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage”, describing her as "Ethnic purgatory ministry"."Criminations specified as "Death of the IDF" and "From River to the Sea" are slogans that advocate the liquidation of the State of Israel and indirectly call for the elimination of judaic self-determination" – wrote the embassy on Saturday. The message besides warned that public applause for these shouts " they rise serious concerns about the standardisation of extremist language and the glorification of violence".A spokesperson for the British government said that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy had spoken to BBC Director-General Tim Davie and demanded ‘urgent explanation’.

The BBC condemned the remarks made during Bob Vylan's performance as ‘deeply offensive’ and stated that the section would inactive not be available in the BBC iPlayer.Since the start of the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip, in which more than 56,000 Palestinians have been killed since 2023, pro-Palestinian demonstrations and an increase in anti-Semitic incidents have been reported in many countries.

The conflict was triggered by the Hamas attack on October 7, in which about 1,200 Israelis were killed and over 200 were taken hostage.
