Israel will be allowed to compete in this year’s Eurovision, organizers say. The decision contradicts the song contest’s decision to bar Russia following the launch of its military operation in Ukraine in February, 2022. The country ended up missing the contest in 2022 and 2023.
On Thursday, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)---which owns and operates Eurovision---announced that they had conducted a review and made the decision to allow Israel to participate.
“The Eurovision song contest is a non-political music event and a competition between public service broadcasters who are members of the EBU. It is not a contest between governments,” the EBU director general, Noel Curran, said in a statement.
