"We haven't ever seen anything like this"
Eurovision history expert Dr Dean Vuletic says the increasing calls to bar Israel from the song contest over its war in Gaza mark new territory for organisers.
While some countries have boycotted before, at least five broadcasters from the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, Iceland and Ireland are all threatening to withdraw should Israel be allowed to take part.
