Eurovision interzice țărilor aflate în război sau în „situații geopolitice sensibile” să găzduiască concursul / Noua regulă, pe fondul controverselor legate de participarea continuă a Israelului la aceată competiție

Eurovision has updated its rules to prevent countries involved in armed conflicts from hosting the annual music contest. This change follows recent controversies regarding Israel's participation. Five countries have boycotted the 2026 contest due to the Gaza conflict. The new regulations state that a winning broadcaster may be deemed ineligible to host if security is significantly affected by geopolitical situations. Organizers can request an independent security assessment to determine hosting eligibility. These changes aim to ensure a safe environment for participants and maintain the contest's integrity.
