In Norway and Iceland, among others, there was criticism of the fact that the EBU is not fighting the country despite the war in Gaza. This happened before in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. Refusing Israel would be a “reverse form of justice,” reads the letter from the organization Creative Community for Peace, which was also signed by stars such as Sharon Osbourne (71), Liev Schreiber (56) and Debra Messing (55). The country is fighting against a “terrorist organization,” the writers say, referring to Hamas.
According to the organization, Israel also has a history with the Eurovision Song Contest. “Those calling for Israel’s exclusion are undermining the idea of the competition, turning it from a celebration of unity into a political tool,” it said. It seems that the letter writers are getting their way: the EBU previously stated that Israel can participate and that the Eurovision Song Contest must remain a “non-political event”.
LOOK. Who is singer Mustii, who is going to the Eurovision Song Contest for our country?
