Activists launched a Twitter campaign calling for global superstar Jennifer Lopez to cancel her show in Tel Aviv.
Using the hashtag #CancelTelAviv, activists for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement used graphic images showing injured children in Palestine to send a message to singer, asking her to cancel her tour.
According to the Daily News, it was reported by Israeli news site Ynet News that the 46-year-old singer had confirmed her performance in Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv, but Lopez herself has yet to make it official.
