Despite the tragedies Gaza is enduring and the anger boiling in the Arab streets, Saudi Arabia insisted on launching the Riyadh entertainment season without regard for the events in Palestine. They even criticized those who asked them to postpone their celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>The first nights of the &#8220;entertainment season&#8221; in the capital Riyadh witnessed a boisterous event attended by thousands of Saudi men and women, mingling despite recent fatwas prohibiting demonstrations in support of Palestine due to the mixing of genders. A video circulated on social media showed Saudis, both men and women, interacting with Saudi singer Moudy Al-Shahrani as she urged them to &#8220;everyone dance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\">\u063a\u0632\u0629 \u062a\u062d\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0635\u0641 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0636 \u062a\u062d\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0635 !!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%BA%D8%B2%D8%A9_%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AF_%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B6_%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AA%D9%81%D9%84?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u063a\u0632\u0629_\u062a\u0628\u0627\u062f_\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0636_\u062a\u062d\u062a\u0641\u0644<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tLQaa23Twz\">pic.twitter.com\/tLQaa23Twz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 mazen007 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0637\u0628\u064a\u0639_\u062e\u064a\u0627\u0646\u0629# (@mazen00711) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mazen00711\/status\/1718715604960518474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 29, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nActivists on the platform &#8220;X&#8221; (formerly Twitter) launched a hashtag titled &#8220;Gaza is being eradicated, and Riyadh celebrates,&#8221; which topped the trending list in several Arab countries.
