Justin Bieber: `Paparazzi should have some respect`

The 17-year-old singer is set to play a concert in Tel Aviv this week, and took to Twitter to share his frustration at being unable to visit sacred sites in peace.

'Amazing place... not a bad day. Just wish got a little more space and privacy from the paps to enjoy this time with my family,' he wrote.

'I'm in the holy land and I am grateful for that. I just want to have the same personal experience that others have here... So im (sic) looking forward to this week and I look forward to putting on a great show...thank you for the support.'

He later added, 'You would think paparazzi would have some respect in holy places. All I wanted was the chance to walk where Jesus did here in Israel.

'They should be ashamed of themselves. Take pictures of me eating but not in a place of prayer, ridiculous. People wait their whole lives for opportunities like this, why would they want to take that experience away from someone.'

He added, 'Staying in the hotel for the rest of the week u happy?'
