MTV will hold its annual summer party in Tel Aviv this year, the daily newspaper Yediot Achronot reported. Representatives from the music television network were to sign an agreement this week with Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov and Tel Aviv–Jaffa Mayor Ron Huldai.
The event at Yarkon Park will feature international artists performing alongside Israeli artists. MTV producers are in negotiations with the singer Pink and rapper Jay-Z.
Steinitz made contact with MTV a few months ago when he asked that the network’s Europe Music Awards take place in Israel; in the end Spain was chosen to host.
The MTV summer party will be broadcast live to dozens of countries. — ynetnews.com
