European Parliament: Against the boycott of Israel in Eurovision 2024!

In a statement, Sabine Verheyen, German MEP and President of the Committee on Cultural Affairs of the European Parliament, stood against the boycott of Israel in Eurovision 2024, which some are trying to impose on the public broadcasters, members of the EBU.

The largest democratic institution of the EU – the European Parliament, since its members are directly elected by the citizens of the member states, through the president of its Committee on Cultural Affairs Sabine Verheyen, stated earlier to euobserver that it is against any boycott attempted against Israel and its participation in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest.

In fact, the MEP made it clear that Israeli citizens have the right to live without the fear of the terrorist organization Hamas, somehow justifying the military operation currently being carried out in Gaza to dismantle the organization.

Israeli citizens have the right to live free from terror, fear and violence.

This is the first time that one of the EU’s top institutions has spoken openly about the thorny issue of Israel’s participation in Eurovision 2024, taking a clear stand in favor of its unfettered participation and against calls for a boycott.
