Fazil Say said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should stand trial for war crimes, genocide and massacres. — AFP picISTANBUL, Oct 22 — World-renowned Turkish composer and pianist Fazil Say has said his concerts planned next week in Switzerland were cancelled by organisers over his social media posts criticising Israeli policies in Gaza.
But he says he was removed from the lineup of the planned concerts organised by the event unit of the retail company Migros. “The reason for this change is that Fazil Say’s public statements after the terrorist attack against Israel are not defendable for Migros,” the company said in a statement sent to AFP.Hamas militants stormed into Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians who were shot, mutilated or burnt to death on the first day of the raid, according to Israeli officials.
More than 4,300 Palestinians, mainly civilians, have been killed across the Gaza Strip in relentless Israeli bombardments in retaliation for the attacks by the Palestinian Islamist militant group, according to the latest toll from the Hamas health ministry in Gaza.In one of his comments, Say responded to a message posted by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on X where he accused Israel of a rocket strike on a hospital in Gaza this week.
