Israel is apologizing to the surviving Beatles for banning them 43 years ago and will invite them to play Israel's 60th anniversary in May according to EarthTimes.
Here is what the Israeli UK Ambassador said is in the letter while he was in Liverpool this weekend.
"we would like to take this opportunity to rectify an historic missed opportunity which unfortunately took place in 1965 when you were invited to Israel.
"Unfortunately, the State of Israel cancelled your performance in the country due to lack of budget and because several politicians in the Knesset had believed at the time that your performance might corrupt the minds of the Israeli youth.
"There is no doubt that it was a great missed opportunity to prevent people like you, who shaped the minds of a generation, to come to Israel and perform before the young generation in Israel who admired you and continues to admire you."
The Ambassador will give the letter to John Lennon's sister today at the Beatles' museum and will send the letter to George Harrison's relatives and to Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
Hopefully Paul and Ringo will follow John Lennon's words and Give Peace a Chance and do Israel's 60th Anniversary celebrations!
The Sun is reporting Paul McCartney, who had his share of heart break from Heather Mills, recently got an angioplasty.
A source said: “Paul had been complaining about not feeling well and saw a Harley Street specialist at The London Clinic.
“Tests were carried out and the decision was taken to operate. Paul had the angioplasty in a private hospital. It was all very routine but any work on your heart is a big deal.”
A friend of the legend said: “Luckily Paul is in very good shape. He does regular exercise and is fit.
"He eats well and does not carry any excess weight. He has always been in exceptional health, which is remarkable when you think of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle he once had.”
Last night Macca’s spokesman said of the hush-hush angioplasty performed in the autumn: “It was a routine medical operation.”
Poor Paul, but he looks like he is doing so much better. Hopefully the stress of going back to court next month with Heather will not be too much for his heart.

According to NME, Kurt Cobain fell off the charts after being number #1 last year when Courtney Love started selling him off.
The name on that list that shocks me most is Albert Einstein, I guess brains count for something too.
NME is reporting that Julian Lennon has sold off his stake of his father’s compositions from the Beatles to Primary Wave Music Publishing. Primary Wave Music Publishing reportedly bought the Nirvana rights last year from Courtney Love for $50 million, so it will be interesting to see how much Julian Lennon got. The announcement of Julian Lennon’s sale is expected later today.
In other Beatles news, EMI and the surviving Beatles and family have settled their argument and their music could be available for download soon!
Back to Julian Lennon, I met him once in Miami at some and all I can say is he a great hugger!
