UK police drop probe into Bob Vylan comments about 'death to the IDF'

British police have announced they will not pursue further action against punk duo Bob Vylan following their controversial comments about the Israeli military during a performance at the Glastonbury music festival. Authorities stated that, after reviewing all available evidence, the case did not meet the criminal threshold for prosecution. The performance, which included chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF,' sparked criticism from the British prime minister and prompted an apology from the BBC for broadcasting the event. The decision brings an end to the police investigation into the incident.
