Singer-songwriter Ishay Ribo canceled his planned United States concert tour at the last minute after arriving at Ben Gurion Airport, citing escalating tensions with Iran and fears of being stranded abroad. He and his band decided to turn back before departing, concerned that a potential expansion of hostilities could prevent their return to Israel.

In a message to ticket holders, Ribo said, 'Dear audience, in light of the situation and the high level of alert in Israel, we have decided to postpone our upcoming United States tour.' He explained that during such sensitive times, he felt it was important to remain in Israel alongside his family.

Ribo expressed appreciation for his fans' understanding and pledged to reschedule the tour when conditions allow. No new dates have been announced.
