Iceland, Slovenia, and Spain Oppose Israel’s Participation in Eurovision – Haaretz Reports
April 29, 2025
Iceland’s public broadcaster, RÚV, has joined Slovenia and Spain in publicly opposing Israel’s participation in the Eurovision song contest.
The broadcaster expressed its opposition after Iceland’s foreign minister, Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir, made a statement on the issue.
She told the Icelandic paper Visir that she didn’t think Israel should participate in the contest due to its operations in Gaza. “”As an ordinary citizen, I find the matter strange and unnatural that Israel is permitted to participate in the Eurovision in light of its war crimes. And basically, ethnic cleansing has taken place in recent weeks and months in Gaza,”” the minister wrote.
