The Red Sea Jazz Festival, like all Israeli cultural institutions, benefits directly from Israel’s decades-old regime of apartheid, military occupation and settler-colonialism.
Since its founding it has failed to distance itself from this system of oppression against the Palestinian people or to uphold comprehensive Palestinian rights under international law.
Inspired by the international boycott movement that helped bring down apartheid in South Africa, Palestinian civil society, including almost its entire arts and culture community, has called for a cultural boycott of Israel since 2004.
