Emel Mathlouthi, a Tunisian singer known as the voice of Tunisia’s uprising in 2011, faced consequences after performing in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Her upcoming show at the Hammamet International Festival in Tunisia was cancelled following accusations from pro-Palestinian campaigners who claimed she was promoting “normalisation” with Israel.

Last month, Mathlouthi had performed in Bethlehem, Ramallah, and East Jerusalem to Palestinian audiences.
However, she asserted that she did not perform in Israel and was the victim of a “big misinformation campaign.” She expressed her disappointment over the cancellation, stating that it was unjustified considering the circumstances.
