In brazen defiance of health regulations, an estimated crowd of 3,000 people danced and sang along to Israeli musicians on Thursday (May 21) at a concert in Tel Aviv that was among the first large live music gatherings since the global industry shut down in March amid the coronavirus pandemic.Over a dozen well-known Israeli acts, including alternative rocker Aviv Geffen and pop diva Rita, performed at Charles Clore public park as part of a music event semantically and legally referred to as “Behind the Scenes: an Assembly of Solidarity.” The event wasn’t billed as an official concert.
Rather, the performers exploited a loophole in Israel’s health regulations, which permits contained protests.Attendees of the event were permitted entrance to.
