About this episode

Eurovision faces unprecedented drama as five European broadcasters boycott the 2026 contest due to Israels participation amidst the Gaza conflict. Tensions escalated last year when Israels Yuval Raphael nearly won, sparking allegations of vote manipulation. The European Broadcasting Union investigated and reduced the maximum votes per viewer to ten, warning Israels team for promoting excessive voting. Despite efforts to keep politics out, Eurovisions song contest continues to be entangled in geopolitical controversies.
