Macklemore wears 'Free Marwan' t-shirt on final night of Free Palestine Tour
Confetti falls as Macklemore crosses the stage waving a Palestinian flag. Middle East Eye's clip from the final night of his Free Palestine Tour shows the rapper wearing a keffiyeh and a shirt calling for Marwan Barghouti's release, with "Marwan 24" across the back.
Filmed in London on 30 October, it is the most watched of the channel's fifteen uploads this week, reaching roughly 108,000 views. The description identifies Barghouti as an imprisoned Palestinian political leader and senior Fatah figure. A separate upload features Paloma Faith speaking at the concert about motherhood and the equal value of children's lives.
The concert clip also has the most momentum right now. Behind it are Donald Trump's call to send Michigan-born Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed "back where he came from" and Ahmad Tibi's appeal to Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot. Speaking to David Hearst, Tibi argues for cooperation with Arab parties to form a minority government and end Benjamin Netanyahu's rule. Together, those uploads give the week a mix of stage-level political expression and the practical questions of elections and coalition-building.
Across the channel, the existing library and new uploads added about eight million views over the week, while subscribers held steady. Daily viewing is currently below its usual pace, a pattern shared by nearby broadcasters including Guardian News and Channel 4 News. For Middle East Eye, the London footage is the week's clearest meeting point between its political coverage and the music stage.
