Massive Attack and Paul Weller have requested and had their music blocked in Israel, reports NME.

A number of world artists, including Massive Attack, Paul Weller, Lorde and Björk, have joined the "No music for genocide" campaign, which calls on musicians to geo-block their music in Israel in protest against the Gaza war.

The first two now confirm that their record labels, Universal and Warner, have approved their request, writes NME.

The record label Hyperdub has previously withdrawn its entire catalog from streaming services in the country.

Swedish Fever Ray and The Knife are among the over 1,000 artists who have signed the campaign.

Massive Attack made a separate request last fall to have all of their music removed from Spotify, citing founder Daniel Ek's investments in a European defense technology company.
