Australia: Montaigne asks for Israel’s removal from Eurovision!

Through an instagram post, Montaigne, the Australian representative in Eurovision 2020 and 2021 calls for a removal of Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

As an artist who has had the privilege of competing in Eurovision, it is my shared opinion that Israel should be removed from the 2024 contest.

I have signed an open letter to the European Broadcasting Union asking them to remove Israel as it is unfair to any artist they select to have their participation tied to political motivation. This is not the spirit of the European celebration of music.

There have been calls to ban Israel from Eurovision 2024. In Finland, 1300 artists signed a petition asking for Israel to be removed. The British representative Olly Alexander has also shared in public his opinion against Israel.

Montaigne didn’t manage to qualify for the final of Eurovision 2021, being the only Australian act failing to qualify to a Eurovision Final.
