Description

Israels participation in the Eurovision Song Contest next year was approved, despite calls for exclusion due to the Gaza crisis and past voting concerns. Instead of a direct vote, new rules were adopted to enhance contest integrity and fairness. However, the Dutch broadcaster, Avrotros, announced a boycott, while other broadcasters are still considering their positions. The new rules aim to address underlying concerns, but the stage is set for a potentially contentious season.
