Sonesta Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, has backed out of hosting a conference in support of Israel after receiving a multitude of calls from a local pro-Palestinian group.

HaYovel, one of the sponsors of the event called the Israel Summit, was contacted by the hotel’s leadership to let them know that the summit scheduled to be held May 20-22 could not be held at the building. Police cited concern for guests’ safety due to “the threatening nature of the calls and messages they received,” according to a report.
