Israel’s participation in Eurovision 2024 was accompanied by several scandals. Due to the war in the Gaza Strip, representatives of the music industry of several countries (Sweden, France, etc.) demanded that Israel not participate in the competition this year. The organizers twice rejected the songs proposed by the country’s representative Eden Golan, seeing in them a political context. In the end, the singer’s third song was approved and she performed at the competition.
