Since the month of December, Irish participant Bambie Thug has been subjected to continuous and resonant appeals to withdraw from the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest due to Israel’s participation. The steady string of attacks on Gaza by Israel following the horrifying assaults by Hamas on October 7th has resulted in demands for Israel’s exclusion from the competition. However, the European Broadcast Union, the organiser of the event, has dismissed these requests. The attention in several nations has since shifted towards the performers, urging them to retract their participation in Eurovision. The program is hosted by Bernice Harrison while Aideen Finnegan assumes the role of the producer.
