“Hi Israel, I’m so excited that my new album, Happier Than Ever, is out now,” she said in the 20-second clip.
The Israellycool blog reported that the innocuous greeting was met with a barrage of online reaction criticizing Eilish for acknowledging Israel’s existence.
One responder wrote: “Educate yourself and see what Israel are doing for Palestinian children [sic].”

Another wrote “Billie, it’s occupied Palestinian land, not Israel.”
People called her a "Zionist" for recognizing Israel during the clip.
