Is Harry Styles new concert tour indirectly fundraising for Hamas-linked charities?

A donation link on the ticket purchasing site for Harry Styles' "Together, Together" concert tour has raised concerns over potential indirect funding of Hamas. The site directs concertgoers to donate to Choose Love, a charity that partners with the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF).

“

Gaza is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis - families are struggling to survive amid destruction, severe shortages of medical care, food, and clean water, and a collapsed healthcare system.

Investigations found that PCRF has been linked to Hamas, with some senior members expressing support for the October 7 massacre. The Jerusalem Post reported that a PCRF board member shared a video on October 7 calling for the "liberation of Palestine," and a former PCRF chairman led a delegation that met with officials from the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza.

This page is funding partners working in Palestine and in neighboring countries that Palestinians have fled to. At the heart of Choose Love’s approach is a commitment to center, resource, and amplify the voices of Palestinian-led organizations across Palestine as much as possible. Our partners know where your money is most urgently needed, they know how to keep people alive and which projects to invest in as they look to the future and help Palestinians survive and rebuild.

Choose Love, on its official website, describes the situation in Gaza as an "ongoing genocide" and states its commitment to "center, resource, and amplify the voices of Palestinian-led organizations." The charity's fundraising page for Gaza emphasizes the humanitarian crisis and the need for aid, food, and clean water. It also calls for a permanent ceasefire to protect civilians and enable their return to homes.

We won’t stop calling on governments to facilitate a permanent ceasefire that truly protects civilians, never blocks humanitarian access and enables the return of Palestinians to their homes.

Choose Love confirmed its partnership with PCRF on Instagram, stating, "One of our partners, PCRF, is on the ground, providing urgent medical aid, food, and life-saving treatment to those in desperate need, including orphans and amputees."
