Before the concert, Craig was interviewed by Israeli media and asked the question whether he was troubled by BDS.
“Music is the one thing that has no color…so ultimately being here, is, I think, very important for me because it shows — you know what? I’m here to perform for my fans, let the music do the talking. And I really do hope that my music can break down more boundaries, that more artists can come here and perform. And that Palestinian artists and Israeli artists can work together and perform. And that can break down all this nonsense.”
Here is a full interview. From 4:34, he speaks about visiting Israel.
As for the show itself, it looks like it went well.
Wow! Amazing energy in Tel Aviv tonight! Thank you for all the love!🔥🔥🔥 @TS5 #TS5 https://t.co/aepwDSIo8Z pic.twitter.com/hWNmhK1NvO
