Mohamed Attia enlights Gaza war in new song “Battikh”

Egyptian singer Mohamed Attia has taken the trend in a new song called “Battikh,” which means watermelon in Arabic.

In the clip, Mohamed Attia, who is well-known for his acute support of the Palestinian cause, appeared wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh. Furthermore, the name of the “Battikh” or watermelon is a known symbol of supporting Palestine.

The song further highlights the boycott and the antiquity of the Palestinian people and their history compared to the history of the Zionist entity, in addition to talking about resistance, as Attia appears in the last part of the song wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh and imitating the finger movement of “Abu Obeida.”
