BAKHURST MEETS CONTEST BOSSES
Irish Daily Mirror
|May 10, 2025
EUROVISION bosses are to engage in crunch talks over Israel's involvement in this year's song contest after mounting pressure from other countries.
Committee chair Alan Kelly, Mr Bakhurst addressed questions over the participation of Israel.
Earlier this week, RTE's Director General Kevin Bakhurst asked the EBU for a meeting about Israel's inclusion in this year's song contest.
It is being represented by Yuval Raphael, a 24-year-old singer who survived the Hamas massacre at a music festival with the song New Day Will Rise.
Mr Bakhurst said on Wednesday:
"Notwithstanding the fact that the criterion for participating in the Eurovision Song Contest is membership of the European Broadcasting Union, RTE has nonetheless asked the EBU for a discussion on Israel's inclusion in the contest."
