Hungary bans the Irish pro-Palestinian band Kneecap.

The Hungarian government has banned the Irish rap group from entering the country, citing “antisemitic hate speech and open praise for Hamas and Hezbollah,” a government spokesperson said Thursday.

The band was set to perform at the major Sziget Festival in Budapest on 11 August.
