Dave Chappelle, in his comedy set in Abu Dhabi, addressed the Israel-Hamas war. He talked about “genocide” in Gaza and called for a fight against antisemitism. This sparked controversy in the UAE, with some questioning his remarks and the local restrictions on such topics. The mention of Middle East conflicts in a comedy show raised eyebrows and brought the issue into the spotlight. Chappelle's bold statements on a sensitive political issue like the Israel-Palestine conflict stirred debate and pushed for a reevaluation of the boundaries of free speech.
