Former Eurovision contestants call for Israel's exclusion over Gaza conflict and double standards

  • More than 70 former Eurovision participants demanded that the EBU not allow Israel's broadcaster Kan to send its contestant, Yuval Raphael, to the competition, citing complicity in genocide and apartheid against Palestinians in Gaza, per their open letter.
  • The letter claims that 'Kan is complicit in Israel's genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza' and calls out a 'double standard' since Russia was banned after its invasion of Ukraine.
  • Artists like Jonny Greenwood and Dudu Tassa have canceled performances amid pro-Palestinian protests, reflecting a broader movement against Israel's participation in Eurovision.
  • The EBU has not yet responded to the letter, which has sparked debate within the music and entertainment industries.
