<p>ANKARA (Reuters) -Turkish authorities have banned a concert of Enrico Macias, a French singer of Algerian-Jewish origin, after calls for protest over his pro-Israeli stance.</p>

<p>The Istanbul governor's office late on Wednesday said that Macias' performance scheduled for Friday evening in the city has been banned "after intense calls for protests against the concert."</p>

<p>Such protests would place protesters "in an unjust position legally, and cause grievances," the office said in a statement.</p>

<p>Any protests around the concert venue in Istanbul's Sisli district on Friday were also banned by the governor.</p>

<p>NATO member Turkey has fiercely criticised Israel over its actions in Gaza and says it is committing genocide there.</p>

<p>It has halted all trade with Israel, called for international measures against it, and has repeatedly urged world powers to stop supporting Israel.</p>

<p>Israel has strongly denied that its actions in Gaza, where its offensive has killed more than 63,000, amount to genocide.</p>
