Several Portuguese artists announced their withdrawal from the MEO Commedia a La Carte Fest, scheduled for October 29 to November 1, due to disagreements with the public positions of Jerry Seinfeld on Israel and the war in Gaza. The American comedian is the main figure on the event's lineup.

Some artists publicly stated the reason for their decision, while others simply announced their withdrawal without further explanation.

The festival had been publicly presented in April with Seinfeld confirmed as the headliner. The event takes place in Portugal and is organized by the MEO platform.

The controversy arises in a context of international tensions related to the conflict in Gaza, where various public figures have taken divergent positions that have generated debate and reactions in the artistic community.
