Folks, I'm hugely disappointed that you want to go on with your gig in Tel Aviv: please don't.
Here again, why:

Please have another good think please, you boycotted already South Africa in its Apartheid era, I cannot think why you mak a difference for Israel.
The whole issue is simply that the right-wing government under Benjamin Netanyahu does not recognise the Palestinians right as an independent state - or indeed to exist. Their expansion on their territory has been officially recognised to be in breach of the Geneva Convention of Human Rights.
Here, an entire website devoted to explaining why Israel is an apartheid state, they're a rather wondeful grass roots effort made up of activists, students, academics, young people, older people, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Palestinians and Israelis:

So why ever would you legitimize a state like that with you performing there?
Please - please rethink.
Thanks guys,
Hal, London
