Israel threatened with disqualification from Eurovision for song about October 7 attacks. Eurovision regulations prohibit any political message in the songs presented during this pan-European show.
Israel has already indicated that the country will retain this title. “We will not change the lyrics or the song, even at the cost of Israel not participating in Eurovision this year, ” Israeli public broadcaster Kan declared. Israeli Minister of Culture and Sports Miki Zohar also stepped up to defend this song: “The EBU's intention to disqualify the Israeli song from EuroVision is scandalous”
