Will Shakira Perform in Israel?

The Jerusalem Post is talking about a possible Shakira concert in Israel. They report that Shakira's representatives are talking about a stop there in August. I have to wonder if this is something that will happen.

International artists may choose to avoid performing in Israel for fear of losing fans and revenue that they may have in Arab nations. For most acts this isn't a political statement, it's just choosing to cater to a large market as opposed to a smaller one.
