The Eurovision Song Contest has received a lot of criticism for letting Israel compete this year, given the current war happening in Gaza.

Several countries are choosing not to participate in the contest this year because the organization in charge, the European Broadcasting Union, decided against banning Israel from competing.

In December 2025, the EBU held a meeting where members voted to create rules preventing governments or outside groups from unfairly pushing certain songs to sway voting results. However, they did not vote on whether Israel would be allowed to participate.

The European Broadcasting Union announced that most of its members decided another vote on whether to continue with the Eurovision Song Contest wasn’t necessary. They confirmed that the 2026 contest will go ahead as scheduled, with extra safety measures in place.

I was really disappointed to learn that Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Iceland have all decided not to compete in Eurovision this year. It’s a shame – I always look forward to seeing their performances!

Ireland’s public broadcaster, RTÉ, has stated that it believes it’s inappropriate for Ireland to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest this year, considering the tragic loss of life and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which continues to endanger civilians.

The BBC, the UK broadcaster of the competition, backs the EBU’s decision. In a statement, they explained that it’s about following the competition’s rules and ensuring everyone feels welcome.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 final will take place on Saturday 16 May 2026.
