Five countries boycotted the "Eurovision" due to Israel's participation.
Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Iceland, and Slovenia have refused to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in protest against Israel's admission, reports France 24. The media in these countries will not broadcast the 70th contest, which will take place from May 12 to 16 in Vienna. As noted by the publication, this political decision is a boycott of the television show due to the presence of an Israeli representative. Earlier, the winner of Eurovision 2024, Swiss contestant Nemo, declined his award for the same reason.
