Spain Joins Boycott Threat Against Israel in Eurovision Amid Gaza Conflict

Spain has joined other countries threatening to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest unless Israel is excluded due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The move increases pressure on Israel and the European Broadcasting Union. This follows protests and political tensions between Spain and Israel over recent events.

Spain has added its voice to a growing list of countries threatening to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest unless Israel is excluded due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Previously, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Slovenia had taken a similar stance, heightening pressure on both Israel and the European Broadcasting Union, which manages the event.

The decision by Spanish public broadcaster RTVE was finalized during a board meeting in Madrid amidst strained diplomatic relations, following protests against an Israeli-owned cycling team in Spain.
