Ongoing Israeli attacks and the blockade in the Gaza Strip have led to international reactions. Despite the 27-day conflict, significant entertainment events in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have sparked controversy on social media, as Palestinians in Gaza continue to seek assistance. These elaborate celebrations, backed by substantial budgets, have drawn both support and criticism.

Saudi Arabia’s “Riyadh Season,” a major global festival, has captured attention, diverting some focus from the Gaza conflict. Meanwhile, in Dubai, UAE, a remarkable drone show in front of the iconic Burj Khalifa tower for Halloween has garnered global attention, even gaining praise from high-profile figures like Elon Musk.
