Eurovision winner to return award after Israel allowed to participate
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/eurovision-winner-return-award-after-israel-cleared-participate(www.middleeasteye.net)The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest winner, Nemo, will return their award to protest the European Broadcasting Union's decision to allow Israel's participation in the 2026 event. Nemo stated that Israel's inclusion conflicts with the contest's values due to its military actions in Gaza, which a UN inquiry has described as a genocide. This follows announcements from five countries, including Spain and Ireland, that they will boycott the competition for the same reason. Pro-Palestine campaigners have vowed to continue pressuring other national broadcasters to withdraw from the event.
