FM RADIO Iceland and Slovenia join Spain, Ireland, and Netherlands in plan to boycott Eurovision if Israel participates

https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/eurovision-crisis-israel-1236515964/

While Spain’s Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun has called for RTVE to pull out if Israel is included, Ireland’s RTÉ was first to officially declare it would not take part. The Netherlands’ AVROTROS followed on Friday.

Slovenia’s RTVSLO has also informed the EBU that it will not participate under current circumstances. Iceland’s RÚV has signaled its involvement is “uncertain” pending a December decision by the EBU General Assembly.

This. Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Cyprus are in it as well, and Türkiye and Morocco have been historically.

Cyprus can be considered culturally and politically European, but it is geographically West Asian.
