Iceland to boycott Eurovision over Israel's participation

NEW | Israel’s settlers and army crushed Palestine’s 2025 olive harvest. Farmers were barred from their groves, hit with 167 settler attacks, and locked out of 25,000 dunams. Output collapsed to just 7–8k tonnes — the worst in decades — deepening hardship and accelerating land theft.

The UK must follow Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia’s lead and boycott Eurovision. We cannot have “business as usual” with Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

Spain's RTVE highlighted how its board of directors had agreed in September that the country would withdraw "if Israel was part of it".

Slovenia's broadcaster RTV said it would not take part "if Israel is included among the participating countries" and that the recent rule changes did not alter its view."...

"RTE feels that Ireland's participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk," the broadcaster said.

Israel will be allowed to compete in next year's Eurovision Song Contest, organisers have said - with several broadcasters saying they will now boycott the event.
