Thom Yorke, the leader of the band Radiohead, stated that he will no longer perform concerts in Israel as long as Benjamin Netanyahu is in power. This statement comes eight years after the band ignored calls for a boycott and performed in Tel Aviv. In a recent interview, Yorke emphasized that he does not want to be associated with the Netanyahu regime, expressing his regret over the 2017 concert.

He also criticized the pro-Palestinian BDS movement, considering it extremist. In the past, Yorke has had tense moments with those fighting for the Palestinian cause, and his bandmate Jonny Greenwood has also been criticized for his collaborations with Israeli artists. Despite the controversies, Greenwood participated in protests in Israel against Netanyahu.
