Even though Israel is not technically in Europe, the country has competed in the annual Eurovision Song Contest since 1973. Israel has won the contest four times, most recently in 2018. In recent years, Israel’s ongoing campaign of Palestinian genocide has made its participation in Eurovision more and more untenable. After the European Broadcasting Union, Eurovision’s governing body, announced that Israel would again participate in next year’s context, four countries announced plans to boycott the contest in protest.
