The singer's first-ever Tel Aviv tour stops were paused after Israeli leaders announced a war in Gaza.
The show, planned for 100,000-seat HaYarkon Park, was Mars's second in the venue, after a Wednesday show described by the Jerusalem Post as “dazzling.” That appearance was his first-ever show in Israel, the Post noted last month. By selling out two shows in the stadium, he became “one of the most – if not the most – successful artists to ever appear in Israel,” as other acts such as “Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, and U2” only managed to sell out “one show, not two.
As of publication time, 100 have been killed in the incursion, the Associated Press reports, a number that's expected to rise but already makes Saturday “one of the deadliest days in Israel’s 75-year history.” “We are at war,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised address to the nation on Saturday. “Not an ‘operation,’ not a ‘round,’ but at war.” It's unclear if Mars is currently in Israel.
