Israel says Barbra Streisand has pulled out of a celebration of the country's 60th anniversary next month.
Streisand was among the celebrities set to appear at a Jerusalem convention hosted by Israeli President Shimon Peres beginning May 13. Phone messages left early Tuesday with the singer's publicist and agent weren't immediately returned.
Streisand, who will be 66 on Thursday, was to perform a rendition of the Hebrew prayer Avinu Malkeinu, or "Our Father Our King."
She gave no reason for the cancellation, Peres' office said.
