Summary:

The World Day of Prayer committee in Germany censored specific materials planned for the World Day of Prayer in 2024, including a cover image created by artist Halima Aziz. The artwork, titled Praying Palestinian Women, depicts three Palestinian women wearing jewelry shaped like keys around their necks and ears. Initially created for global distribution, the image aimed to elevate the voices of Palestinian women during the World Day of Prayer and was selected by the international committee to represent the event's theme. However, the German committee deemed the image antisemitic and accused Halima Aziz of failing to distance herself from Hamas. Other countries kept using the original material and image.
