Israeli singer Kobi Peretz turned down a lucrative offer to perform at a private event in France for 100,000 euros (approximately $108,000 USD). The reason for his refusal was that the event was scheduled for October 7th, the date of the Hamas attacks on Israel.
According to a report by mako, Peretz was invited to perform at the 70th birthday celebration of a businessman in France, with an audience of about 100 guests. The offer included payment of 100,000 euros, with all travel and accommodation expenses covered additionally.
Despite the exceptionally high sum for a private event, Peretz and his team decided to decline. Sources close to the singer explained that the date itself, October 7th, made it impossible for him to perform. The substantial payment could not sway his decision, as he chose to forgo the performance and the significant earnings to avoid appearing on stage on the anniversary of the October 7th attacks.
