The Netherlands will boycott the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest over Israel's participation, broadcaster AvroTros said on Thursday.
European Broadcasting Union members decided on Thursday not to call a vote on Israel's participation, meaning it can take part, despite boycott threats from some countries over the Gaza war, sources at two EBU members told Reuters.
