Eviatar Banai

Singer Eviatar Banai dramatically halted his Jerusalem concert after seeing security guards remove his mother from the crowd, refusing to continue until she returned.

The renowned singer, who consistently sells out Israel's largest venues, has been forced to cancel his performance for the second time this week due to a sudden illness.

The festive Tu B'Av concert scheduled for this evening as part of the "Bimot Pais" project has been cancelled due to Eviatar Banai's illness. Organizers announced that the band Balkan Beat Box will perform instead.
