Kobi Peretz Rejects Lucrative French Gig Scheduled for October 7
Israeli singer Kobi Peretz refused a 100,000-euro offer to perform at a private birthday celebration in France because the event coincided with October 7.
Israeli singer Kobi Peretz turned down a lucrative offer of 100,000 euros to perform at a private 70th birthday party for a businessman in France, because the event was scheduled for October 7. The private celebration, set to host around a hundred guests, did not include additional expenses such as flights, accommodation, and travel arrangements.
Sources close to the artist confirmed that Peretz and his team immediately rejected the generous proposal, emphasizing that the singer refused to perform on such a painful and somber date. Representatives for Peretz released an official statement confirming the details.
"For Kobi, October 7 is a national day of remembrance and deep pain, making it entirely unthinkable for him to perform on this date, regardless of how high the financial compensation might be," his PR team stated. Peretz honors the memory of the victims, the bereaved families, and all Israeli citizens, believing that unity and mutual responsibility will help build a better future.
