Eurovision organisers push back Israel decision to December

The European Broadcasting Union's members were due to hold a vote next month, after a growing number of countries threatened to boycott the 2026 TV extravaganza in Vienna unless Israel was excluded over the war in Gaza.

The annual Eurovision Song Contest is world's biggest live music television event. Some 166 million viewers in 37 countries watching the 2025 competition, held in Basel, Switzerland.

The EBU, the world's biggest public service media alliance, said on Monday that instead of the special meeting in November announced last month, Israel's participation would be dealt with at its regular gathering in December.

Former tourism boss touts measures for 2026 comeback

Despite a tourism downturn this year, Thailand should not lose its grip on promoting the markets next year, as the government should quickly fix perceptions concerning the lack of safety by revamping its image to resemble a trusted destination and by partnering with airlines to maintain seats and affordable airfares, in order to increase revenue by 8% to 1.63 trillion baht as targeted.
