Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has said in a British newspaper interview he would not now perform in Israel, eight years after the band defied pro-Palestinian activists to play a Tel Aviv gig.

"Absolutely not. I wouldn't want to be 5,000 miles anywhere near the Netanyahu regime," he told The Sunday Times Magazine, referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
