After it seemed that the band would arrive as planned for Saturday night's performance at Live Park, it was announced that the show had been canceled. An IDF spokesperson said: "As part of an assessment of the situation by the editor's command and the Rishon LeZion municipality, it was decided to cancel the show." Sources said: "The cancellation stems from a risk assessment. Each case is examined individually according to the threats. The location of the performance and the performance area are different from Yarkon Park."
Last night it looked like the show would go on as usual. The producer of the show, "Live Nation Israel - Shai Mor Yosef and Guy Besser", announced last night that "at this stage, we are conducting ourselves as usual while constantly monitoring and updating both with the various entities abroad and with the entities in Israel. It is important for us to know that both the production team in Israel and the directors and production team of the band are currently continuing according to the set schedule and are at the peak of preparations for the show. As you know, the band is already in the Middle East and has finished its shows in Egypt and Abu Dhabi. At this stage, there has been no change in the band's arrival dates in Israel. We'll keep you updated in the coming hours. Hoping for quiet and calm days."
