Eurovision is facing a significant political crisis as several European broadcasters threaten to boycott the competition if Israel participates. Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia have expressed their intent to withdraw due to concerns over the situation in Gaza. Eurovision director Martin Green acknowledged these concerns and stated that broadcasters have until mid-December to confirm their participation. There are proposals for Israel to withdraw or perform under a neutral flag, but Israeli officials are reportedly reluctant. The situation has been contentious for two years, with protests against Israel's participation in past contests. The final decision on Israel's participation is expected in December.
