Elouor Bin Ari, editor of Arab affairs in the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, said that the artist Mohamed Ramadan caused a major crisis in Egypt.
Under the title of one of the most prominent moments of controversy that accompanied the famous Kochilla Festival in the United States this year, Bin Ari said: The remarkable appearance of the Egyptian artist and actor Mohamed Ramadan was the focus of attention of followers, not because of performance or songs, but because of his uniforms that sparked a wide wave of criticism, especially in the Arab world.
The crisis of the artist Mohamed Ramadan
According to the reactions monitored by Ben Ary, “the costume that Ramadan wore is similar to traditional abdominal dancers,” which sparked widespread discontent, especially in Egypt.
Israeli radio said that the photos of Mohamed Ramadan from the Kochilla Festival turned into a burning material on social media, where some described his appearance as moral, while others went to describe him as a “tool for the destruction of society, and some considered it an insult to Egypt’s image in front of the world.
She warned that: In a country like Egypt, where the general image of artists is still subject to strict social control, many saw that Muhammad Ramadan exceeded the red lines, and they offended public taste and fell art in the trap of show vulgarity, as some commentators wrote.
