Green's concert in Jerusalem on August 19th would have been his first in Israel. His promoter in Israel said the artist and his crew really wanted to come, but unfortunately this is not the right time to advertise and push a concert.

A number of artists have pulled out of concerts in Israel in recent weeks, including veteran singer Neil Young and American boyband Backstreet Boys.
