Paul McCartney To Play Israel Gig

Paul McCartney has landed in Israel in before a disputed show tomorrow.

The Beatles legend is playing the country for the first time despite groups calling on him to boycott the gig.

Some claim Macca should protest about the treatment of Palestinians by pulling the show but hes resisted their calls.

On arrival in Israel Sir Paul said he was bringing a message of peace and love.

The gig will be attended by 50,000 people and is called Freedom First. Macca is expected to play a mix of solo tracks and classics from The Beatles and Wings.

43 years ago the Israeli government banned The Beatles from playing a show there thinking the group would corrupt the nations youth.
