Ireland boycotts Eurovision again over Israel
Ireland has decided not to participate in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest and will not broadcast it, as a protest against Israel's participation due to the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the ongoing casualties there. Ireland also expressed concern over the prohibition of international journalists from entering the Gaza Strip. Ireland joins the Netherlands, which announced its withdrawal in August, along with other countries such as Iceland, Spain, and Slovenia, which boycotted this year's edition in protest of Israel's participation amidst the war in Gaza. The 2027 contest will be held in the Bulgarian city of Burgas.
