- Boy George released a song defending Israel's military actions in Palestine and refuting claims of genocide in Gaza.
- Following controversy over the song, he withdrew from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar, where he was due to play King Herod.
- The singer stated he comes "from a place of peace" and has compassion for Palestinians, but his song was inspired by the 7 October Nova music festival attack and his connection to the Jewish community.
- His song, titled "We Will Dance Again", includes lyrics that challenge the "genocide" narrative and criticise the pro-Palestine movement.
- A United Nations investigation last September concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, a finding which Israel's foreign ministry has dismissed as "distorted and false".
