The Daily Mail reports:
“The singer, 35, who is concluding her 11-date Asia tour on Monday, had to be escorted through the streets of Jerusalem by security as passers-by instantly recognized the Toxic hitmaker.
“The star arrived in Israel on Sunday morning and will play to thousands at Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv on Monday night. It was the singer’s first visit to Israel and she appeared keen to visit some of the holy sites around the city.”
“The holy site was already filled with pilgrims and tourists, as many people travel to the wall to pray and slip notes through the cracks of the stone. Britney walked through some of the tunnels, which runs underneath the wall”
“In April, it was announced the Israeli Labour Party’s primary election would be postponed as it fell on the same date as Britney’s concert.”
