Controversies continue in Eurovision.

In Eurovision 2024, Israel's participation has sparked significant debates due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Many artists and former contestants are calling for Israel's removal from the competition.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel's attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of over 52,000 civilians. This situation has turned Eurovision into a political platform.

The organizing body of Eurovision, EBU, defends Israel's participation while facing criticism for banning Russia from the competition. This has led to boycott calls in many countries.

More than 70 former Eurovision participants have signed a letter calling for Israel's removal from the contest. These artists believe in the unifying power of music and emphasize the need to cleanse humanity of crimes committed.

Israel's presence in Eurovision is criticized by many artists. It is stated that Eurovision 2024 is the most politicized and chaotic contest in history.
