'If Israel is there, we won't be': Emergency vote to be held as Eurovision rebellion swells
Eurovision is supposed to be a celebration of the unifying power of music. But for the past two years, it has attracted protests and fan boycotts over its inclusion of Israel amid the country's continued military action in Gaza.
An emergency vote on Israel's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest has been called off following developments in the Middle East, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has said.
Iceland has announced it is boycotting next year's Eurovision over Israel's participation in the competition, saying taking part would "neither be a source of joy nor peace".
