Yasmin Levy's statement on Türkiye

Israeli singer Yasmin Levy will give two concerts in Ankara and Istanbul this week.

Levy's concert in Ankara will be on May 15 at the MEB Şura Hall, and his concert in Istanbul will be on May 17 at the Istanbul Congress Center.

Yesterday, many users on social media reacted to Yasmin Levy due to Israel's attacks on Gaza and demanded that her concerts be cancelled.

The singer then made a statement on her Instagram account, saying, "I decided to come and not surrender to fear."

Levy's full statement follows:

"Hello Türkiye, how are you? I'm Yasmin Levy. I'll be performing in Türkiye tomorrow after a long time. I know I'm not welcome this time because of the situation in my country. But I decided to come to share my love, I didn't cancel my shows."

"I AM NOT A POLITICIAN"

"We should let common sense win. I love all children of all religions in the world. I am not a politician. I just come with my art and my heart. And you know I am Turkish. My family is from Manisa and Izmir. My father was born in Manisa. For me, I am returning home tomorrow. Let's do it together."

"I respect everyone's feelings and all the comments I received. But I decided to come and not give in to fear. We must stand against war and fight for peace. That's why I'm returning to my homeland, Türkiye, tomorrow. I love you."
