Israel’s ambassador to New Zealand has requested an in-person meeting with Lorde after the singer canceled her June 2018 concert in Tel Aviv due to the ongoing cultural boycott.

“It is regrettable that you have canceled your concert in Tel Aviv and have disappointed all your fans in Israel,” Dr. Itzkah Gerberg wrote to the New Zealand native in a Facebook open letter. “Music is a wonderful language of tolerance and friendship, which brings people together. Your concert in Israel could have spread the message that solutions come from constructive engagement that leads to compromise and cooperation.
