The Israeli singer was disqualified fromEurovision Song Contest 2022. The reason? It has a bit of the absurd. Michael Ben David Thursday evening, during the second semifinal, at the time of launching the televoting he approached Alessandro Cattelan e Laura Pausini, giving them a kiss. And yes: that kiss cost him dearly!
“The event organizers did not like the gesture, as they considered it inappropriate and evidently not compliant with the regulation“, Wrote colleagues from DavideMaggio.it. However, the well-known portal has also made a clarification. Or: “the disqualification is useless for the purposes of the match, since Israel was still eliminated at the end of the evening“.
Below, here is the video of the moment in question.

The measure will probably have been taken by virtue of the covid regulations as well. In short, the exuberance cost the Israeli singer dearly. The only positive note, if we want to understand it that way, is that, regardless of the disqualification, his adventure atEsc Italy would have ended that same evening anyway.
