Austria's Eurovision winner wants 2026 edition 'without Israel'

He also expressed regret over Israel's participation in this year's competition despite the war in Gaza.

Eurovision has faced criticism for allowing Israel to participate in the contest despite the devastating Gaza war. This year, pro-Palestinian activists staged protests during the extravaganza in Switzerland over the weekend.

Russia has not been allowed to participate in Eurovision since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

"It is very disappointing to see that Israel continues to participate in the contest," the 24-year-old countertenor told Spanish daily El Pais in an interview. "I would like next year's Eurovision to take place in Vienna without Israel."
