“Unfortunately it hasn’t been possible to line up both visits with such short notice and therefore I’m postponing my appearance at Meteor Festival until a time when I can schedule visits for both my Israeli and Palestinian fans, as well as hopefully other countries in the region,” she wrote.

“Just got the word that Lana will be a no-show at Meteor. We do appreciate her for choosing Meteor to help her score some press attention,” festival organizers wrote in Hebrew on their official website.
