Vibe has put their Vibe Tours to Israel on pause over the political situation that has developed since the current coalition was voted into power last November.

Vibe explained in their newsletter that the political situation has created a gap in the “product” of Israel and the brand of Israel that they have been promoting.

The group stated that the governmental changes and their impact challenge “the very core of the passion many Israelis feel towards their country…”

The organization insists that they will reflect on what other efforts they can invest in to continue their work.
