JERUSALEM, Israel – A controversy over Gaza is shaking up singer Ed Sheeran's concert tour after rapper Macklemore was dropped following comments about Israel and the Palestinians. Meanwhile, Washington is confronting the mounting costs of the war with Iran as Israel warns that the Iranian nuclear threat remains. One line from Macklemore on stage in New Jersey during the Ed Sheeran tour has triggered a firestorm. “I said, 'free Palestine,'" Macklemore explained. Promoters dropped Macklemore, and now Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga, Danish band Lukas Graham, and Finneas later announced are also walking away in protest.
