Eurovision organisers confirm plan to hold vote over Israel’s participation

The Eurovision Song Contest’s organisers have agreed to hold a vote on whether Israel should be allowed to participate in the next annual song competition.

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) confirmed that its 68 member countries will hold a vote at the general assembly in November this year to decide whether Israel can continue to participate in the international song contest.

Numerous countries have already threatened to withdraw from the 2026 competition if Israel is allowed to compete, including Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands.
