Ireland Boycotts Eurovision Song Contest Again Due to Gaza Situation
Irish public broadcaster RTÉ announced that Ireland will not participate in or broadcast the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, citing the humanitarian crisis and loss of life in Gaza. This decision mirrors Ireland's stance from the previous year and aligns with Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS, which also withdrew due to concerns over neutrality and press freedom. Bulgaria will host the final on May 15 in Burgas.
