The Telegraph: Royal Opera’s kowtowing to Israel haters is an act of self-harm
Sir Keir Starmer's pledge to recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not withdraw from Gaza drew a quick response from Hamas, which claimed the recognition would be a reward for their actions on October 7.

Beard's decision has been criticized as virtue signaling, especially as Israeli artists are actively opposing the ongoing war. His actions may jeopardize support from key donors, including Dame Vivien Duffield, a prominent supporter of Israel. The Royal Opera's stance reflects a broader misalignment with the complex realities of the situation.
