|December 06, 2025
THE BBC has said it supports the “collective decision” allowing Israel to participate at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest as other countries launched a boycott.
-
Ireland, The Netherlands, Spain and Slovenia announced they were pulling out of the singing competition following the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) general assembly in Geneva on Thursday, which discussed the future of the competition.
According to reports, a majority of EBU members voted against a proposal to hold a vote to ban Israel from competing.
A BBC spokesperson said: “We support the collective decision made by members of the EBU.
“This is about enforcing the rules of the EBU and being inclusive.”
