Pop Star Ed Sheeran has said what is happening in Gaza is “catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate” as he opened his solo concert in the US city of Philadelphia. Sheeran also said he was “appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine”, describing the suffering caused by the war as a “human tragedy”, while explaining that he has generally sought to keep his concerts focused on “unity, joy, escapism, love” rather than his own political views.
