Noam Batten to Perform at Private Wedding in Moscow Despite Security Concerns
Israeli singer Noam Batten is set to perform at a private wedding in Moscow despite ongoing security tensions due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Sources told mako that although direct flights from Israel to Russia are unavailable because of the conflict, Batten will enter Russia via a neighboring country.
Batten's team expressed that despite fears about the complex security situation, he did not want to disappoint the bride and groom. To minimize risks, he plans to arrive in Moscow shortly before the event, perform, and then promptly return to Israel with his entourage.
The 28-year-old singer will come back to Israel directly to prepare for his first show at the Menora Mivtachim Arena, which was recently announced. This appearance marks a rare cultural engagement in Russia amid the ongoing war and travel restrictions.
