Israel has been included on the list of participating countries for Eurovision 2024, leading many to call for the country to be banned from the contest due to the ongoing Israel Hamas war, and for the boycott of next year’s Eurovision.
According to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNWRA, nearly 1.9 million people – more than 85% of the population in Gaza – have been displaced across the Strip since the 7 October attack on Israel by Hamas militants, in which some 1,200 people were killed and around 240 taken hostage.
