Last month's Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö was marked by significant protests against Israel's participation due to its actions in Gaza.
Concerns were raised about the safety of the city's Jewish community.
Visiting Israelis were advised against displaying flags or speaking Hebrew loudly.
Rabbi Moshe David HaCohen criticized how Malmö was portrayed during the event, while local Jewish residents expressed feelings of insecurity.
However, pro-Palestinian organizer Mahmoud El-Kayed assured that no one should feel threatened in the city.
