Macklemore donates $1 million to Palestinian relief after removal from Ed Sheeran's tour

In the United States, rapper Macklemore announced he would donate $1 million to Palestinian relief organizations after being removed from Ed Sheeran's tour. His removal followed backlash over pro-Palestinian comments made during performances. Macklemore challenged Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, to match his donation, which Kraft later did by pledging $2 million for aid in the region.
