The Israel pavilion at the Venice Biennale stays shut despite efforts by pro-Palestinian activists. The artist and curators representing Israel have decided to keep the doors closed until a cease-fire and hostage release agreement is achieved in Gaza. Ruth Patir, the Israeli artist chosen for the exhibition, expressed discomfort but stressed the significance of their stance. Thousands of activists have pushed for Israel's ban over its actions in Gaza, but the pavilion remains closed, serving as a poignant symbol amid the ongoing conflict.
