Radiohead's lead singer Thom Yorke has stated he would refuse to perform in Israel, contrasting with his band's decision eight years ago to play a concert in Tel Aviv despite protests from pro-Palestinian activists. In an interview with The Sunday Times Magazine, Yorke expressed his unwillingness to be "5,000 miles anywhere near the Netanyahu regime," referring critically to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration.
