beiberpmisrael.jpg Justin Bieber will not be meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prior to his concert in Tel Aviv tomorrow evening.

Netanyahu's spokesperson told the New York Times that Bieber wanted to set up a meeting, but hinted that when they suggested visiting with children from Southern Israel who were victims of rocket fire from Gaza, Bieber's representatives backed away from the meeting. "Sadly," the spokesman told paper, "[setting up a meeting] proved impossible."

A member of Bieber's camp said that the meeting was called off due to logistical reasons rather than personal ones, adding, "Justin welcomes the chance to meet with kids facing difficult circumstances, regardless of their background, and in fact, he had already invited children from the Sderot area." Bieber tweeted his frustration over the incident, writing, "i want to see this country and all the places ive dreamed of and whether its the paps or being pulled into politics its been frustrating."

Bieber also tweeted about Israeli paparazzi getting too close for comfort yesterday, and now a video of the 17-year-old pop star has surfaced where he nearly sideswipes one lensman with his scooter. Click after the jump to see!
