The Eurovision Song Contest has been plunged into turmoil after four nations announced they would refuse to participate in next year’s competition following a decision by the European Broadcasting Union to permit Israel’s entry.
Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia all confirmed their withdrawal from the 2026 event on Thursday, after EBU members gathered in Geneva voted against holding a ballot on excluding Israel over the conflict in Gaza.
Speaking on GB News, commentator Charlie Rowley questioned why countries have decided to boycott the event now, more than two years on since the October 7th Hamas terror attack.
