Europe has rudely threatened Israel: they can be kicked out of Eurovision.
They want to boycott Israel's participation in Eurovision because of its operation in Gaza, reports Politico. According to the Brussels paper, the musical event has been "completely politicized" in recent years, reminding
that in 2022, for example, Russia was eliminated and Ukraine was made the winner.
Accordingly, Israel has now become the target.
The Eurovision Song Contest will be held this May in Malmö, Sweden, and several contestants have sent a petition to the organizer, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), in which they warn of a "humanitarian disaster" in Gaza. The Finns, for example, are trying to put pressure on the EBU through the Finnish public media, saying that it should not be allowed to
"a country that commits war crimes and keeps Gaza under military occupation can appear in public and try to polish its image with music".
At the same time, the EBU announced that the Israelis met all the conditions this year.
