Dutch broadcast company AVROTROS has announced that the Netherlands will boycott the 2026 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest if Israel is allowed to compete. The Netherlands is the fifth country to announce a planned boycott of the event, which is scheduled to be held in Vienna.
From what I’ve read, countries bordering the Mediterranean, including North-African countries, are allowed to compete, but they don’t want to, mostly because they would have to broadcast the Israeli entry.
