Their trip to the Holy Land isn’t the last of Lopez’s international travels this year, though: Over the next two weeks, she’ll perform concerts in Russia, Turkey, Spain and Egypt.
Despite calls to cancel her 1 August show in Tel Aviv as part of the “It’s My Party” international tour, Jennifer Lopez decided to proceed with her concert, marking the first time she’s performed in Israel.
According to The Jerusalem Post, a Palestinian group, “Boycott! Supporting the Palestinian BDS call from within”, sent the pop diva a letter on 5 July, urging her to call off the performance in Israel, claiming that Tel Aviv is “used as a tool for marketing the State of Israel as a ‘cool’ and ‘cultured’ democracry, while hiding a brutal history of colonisation, even that of the city itself”.
Lopez and her fiancé, former baseball star Alex Rodriguez, arrived in Israel on July 31; both Lopez and Rodriguez expressed excitement about being in Israel on Instagram.
