The Saudis did not agree to postpone the event that occurs once a year despite calls to tone down the joy due to what is happening in Gaza.
In recent days, Saudi Arabia has been attacked on the networks under a "meaning Gaza is destroyed and Riyadh is dancing".
Another version of this type of hashtag translates to "Gaza is destroyed and Riyadh celebrates".
This is how one of the users wrote: "While our Palestinian brothers are living under fire, in the dark and cutting off all ways of life, the Saudi Entertainment Authority announced the opening of the Riyadh season without addressing the Palestinians' misery."
What further angered the supporters of the Gazans is that the Mufti of Saudi Arabia appeared in public yesterday for the first time in two months but did not address the Gaza issue at all.
