Dozens of celebrities came together across the pond to raise money for Palestine during a sold-out charity concert at London's OVO Arena Wembley on September 18. The star-studded Together for Palestine event included appearances from Florence Pugh, Benedict Cumberbatch, Riz Ahmed, Guy Pearce, Richard Gere, Bridgerton stars Nicola Coughlan and Charithra Chandran, and many more. Paloma Faith performed in a dress made from a keffiyeh, and other musicians in attendance included PinkPantheress, Bastille's Dan Smith, Gorillaz, James Blake, Rachel Chinouriri, Neneh Cherry, and Cat Burns.
Herzog, speaking to the Chatham House thinktank immediately after the meeting, said he had offered the British government a fact-finding mission to look at the levels of aid entering Gaza. He denied there was any famine and blamed the high civilian death toll on Hamas placing missiles in living rooms. He offered no apology for the attack on Hamas's leadership in Doha on Tuesday, accusing Qatar of being allies of Hamas rather than mediators.
