The U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas has called for superstar singer Justin Bieber’s concert in Israel next year to be canceled.
The Oct. 13, 2022 concert is part of Bieber’s worldwide tour to promote his latest album, Justice, which was released earlier this year.
Hamas’s Department of Artistic Production on Thursday released the following statement in Arabic, which was tweeted by Joe Truzman, a research analyst at the think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Truzman translated the statement into English for Mediaite.

Hamas’ call echoed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or BDS, movement against Israel that has been deemed to be anti-Semitic, although BDS proponents have said it’s a response to Israeli policies regarding Palestinians.
