Israeli Artist's Protest: Refusing to Open Venice Show in Call for Cease-Fire

Israeli artist Ruth Patir has decided not to open her exhibit at the Venice Biennale until Israel and Hamas reach a cease-fire and hostage release agreement, in response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This decision comes after months of efforts by pro-Palestinian activists to have Israel banned from the prestigious international art exhibition.
