McCartney will be rehearsing at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park on Wednesday, and there is the possibility a press conference will also be held.
The former-Beatle had been asked to cancel his performance, and Syrian-born cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed wanted the gig not to take place because "of respect of the feelings of Muslims in Palestine".
But Israel's radio stations are playing plenty of Beatles hits before Sir Paul’s show, which is being called "Friendship First," and which is expected to attract as many as 50,000 fans, even though some of the best tickets are selling for the equivalent of £800.
The Beatles never got to perform in Israel at the height of their success in 1965 because their appearance in the country was cancelled because it was felt they were a corrupting influence.
Sir Paul is taking the opportunity now to make up for not having played in the past and to bring his message of goodwill to Israel.
