On March 13, 2026, during the Biennale of Sydney, Muzeyyen was condemned by Jewish groups and Chris Minns, the premier of New South Wales, after stating that a "Zio-Australian-Epstein empire" was responsible for silencing dissenters.[17] She also expressed solidarity with the people of Iran, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine.[18] Muzeyyen also chanted phrases "long live the resistance", "glory to all of our martyrs" and "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" during the festival.[19][20]
