An orchestra performed near Egypt's听 to celebrate听the听74th anniversary of the founding of Israel, which听for听听is a听somber commemoration of their expulsion from their homes.

The Israeli embassy in Cairo organised the performance by Firqat Alnoor - the group鈥檚 first in the Egyptian capital in 40 years - which caused uproar on social media after taking place on 14 May.

Nakba Day - which falls on 15 May each year - commemorates the devastating ethnic cleansing of 700,000 Palestinians from their native land in 1948 to make way for the creation of Israel.听

However, Israelis mark the founding of their state shortly before Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, on a date that changes annually but fell on 4听May this year.

"I don't understand... what is this audacity!" .

'I swear to god, I still want to cry," 听alongside a video report听on the show.

Meanwhile,听Israeli听Ambassador to Egypt Amira Oron described her enthusiasm surrounding听the controversial event.

"Events such as these express the way that the words peace and stability, which diplomats use so often, can turn into practical reality,"听Oron said, according to听The听Jerusalem Post. "Every day, the staff of the Israeli Embassy in Cairo creates more peace."

Many consider the Nabka to be ongoing, citing continued Israeli settlement building in the occupied West Bank听and efforts to from their homes.

Egypt became the first Arab country to normalise听relations with Israel in 1979, followed by Jordan in 1997. More recently, the UAE,听Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan normalised ties with Israel in controversial deals brokered by the听administration of former US President Donald Trump.
