According to the Israeli police, Abu Amneh is accused of using her music and social media platforms to promote anti-Israeli sentiments and encourage resistance against the occupation. They claim that she has links with Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls the Gaza Strip and is considered a terrorist organization by Israel and its allies.
Abu Amneh lawyer, Nasser Odeh, denied the allegations and said that his client is a peaceful artist who expresses her opinions through art and does not advocate for violence. He said that Abu Amneh arrest is a violation of her freedom of expression and an attempt to silence her voice.
Abu Amneh fans and supporters have launched a campaign on social media to demand her release and condemn Israel crackdown on Palestinian artists and activists. They have also organized protests and vigils in various cities across Palestine and abroad.
Abu Amneh, who is 35 years old, is one of the most popular and influential singers in Palestine. She has performed in many countries and festivals, and has won several awards for her music. She is also known for her humanitarian work and advocacy for women rights.
