"Israeli Artist Halts Venice Biennale Show in Solidarity with Gaza"
TL;DR Summary
The Israel pavilion at the Venice Biennale remains closed as the artist refused to exhibit her work until a cease-fire and hostage deal in Gaza is reached, sparking protests from over 100 demonstrators chanting "Viva, viva Palestina!" Tensions arose in February when activist groups called for Israel to be banned from the event over its conduct in the war in Gaza, and despite the Biennale's organizers and Italy's government affirming Israel's right to participate, the pavilion doors remained locked during the media preview.
