Taking to social media, Adam wrote, "This is a challenging time in which each of us makes a mental calculation between himself and others and between him and the Creator of the world. I chose to be in this dream place and meet wonderful people who love the Israeli people. I'm proud to be an ambassador of music and art in the Emirates, a place where there's hope for a better world, without wars, and without terror in a magical place that has only joy, and human love."
He went on to say, "A few months ago I had the opportunity to congratulate Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Nahyan and President of the Jewish Community Solly Wolf who welcomed me and invited me here to visit.
"I've always known that songs, music, and joy bring people closer and I feel like I represent each and every one of you here when I say to my hosts, Shalom, and Salam Aleikum."
