Irish singer Gilbert O’Sullivan cancels Israel visit over ‘political climate’

Irish singer Gilbert O’Sullivan cancels a planned concert in Israel in the summer over the “political climate,” Hebrew media report.

The Ynet news site says O’Sullivan’s representatives informed the local production office that he does not feel comfortable performing in Israel, also citing a British Foreign office warning about protests in Israel.

O’Sullivan, who last performed in Israel in 2009, is best known for his 1972 hit “Alone Again.”
