After causing a stir in the Jewish community for wearing a Palestinian kaffiyah during a concert in Jordon last month, the popular singer met with the Israeli diplomat in NYC.

The singer met with Israeli Consul to New York Arye Mekel in an attempt to iron out the difficulties and to apologize for any preconceptions as a result of his concert.

During the meeting, Martin explained that he had no personal agenda during his performance in Jordan and said that several local children had placed the kaffiyah on his shoulders, without him knowing what it represents.

Martin said that in order for him to correct the impression left on the Jewish community, he plans to perform in Israel as part of his European tour in Spring, following the release of his new album.
