一句话看懂
John Malkovich canceled his April 13, 2027 Tel Aviv show over a fabricated quote.
The dispute is about a promoter's press release, not Malkovich's own politics.
背景
A press release sent Sept. 5 quoted Malkovich as 'thrilled to return to Israel' and feeling 'closeness and solidarity' with Israeli audiences. Malkovich says he never made or approved those statements and only learned of the announcement when he read The Hollywood Reporter's story, which traced back to The Jerusalem Post. The Israeli producer acknowledged the mistake, citing 'human error,' and the PR company apologized. The cancellation comes as Israel has faced growing cultural isolation, with some international artists refusing to perform there.
