Justin Timberlake visits Western Wall before show

Pop sensation will be performing in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night, but says Jerusalem visit will never be forgotten.

Justin Timberlake has been in Israel for less than 24 hours and has already managed to break a few hearts. The elusive singer managed to evade paparazzi photographers for most of his first day in the country, but could not escape the pitfalls of social media.

 

 

Late in the evening he posted a picture to Instagram from his visit to the Western Wall – captioned "What an experience. I will never forget this day" – which raised the ire of the pop star's Palestinian fans. Replies to the picture included assertions that "there was never an Israel, this was always Palestine."

Timberlake had not responded to the outraged fans as of this time.

 

The talented solo artist, who began his career as part of the boy band phenomenon 'N Sync, will be performing at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park on Wednesday night.

In a Ynet exclusive from earlier in the month, it was revealed that the singer has asked the show's producers to place two folding padded chairs inside his room behind the scenes and four outside the room.

 

In addition to two makeup tables, a makeup mirror and accessories, he also wants two large tables for the catering, a television stereo system, a "quiet fridge," a blender for protein drinks, a microwave, a kettle, an espresso machine and a special coffee table, as well as a sofa which "must be clean," a dining table with four matching chairs, and machines which blow cold air and drops of water in order to help cool Timberlake and his entourage in the Tel Aviv heart.
