Campaigners say celebrities quit British Museum event after climate and pro-Palestine pressure

Campaigners claim several celebrities have withdrawn from a British Museum fundraising event following pressure over the museum's ties to British Petroleum (BP). Pro-Palestine and climate justice groups targeted the event, citing BP's alleged complicity in Israel's actions in Gaza through its oil supply. The groups specifically highlighted a pipeline that provides Israel with a significant portion of its crude oil. While the museum denies the withdrawals are connected to the campaign, activists continue to condemn the institution's sponsorship deal with the company.
