Rap trio Kneecap have suggested they are taking legal action against “false accusations of antisemitism” after criticism of them displaying messages about the war in Gaza during their set at US music festival Coachella.

The Belfast group accused Israel of genocide and war crimes against Palestinians with on-screen messages when they ended their set at the second weekend of the event in California.
