Irlanda boicotează Eurovision 2027 din cauza crizei din Gaza
Ireland will not participate in Eurovision 2027 due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The public broadcaster RTE cited the loss of lives as a key reason for their decision. This marks the second consecutive year Ireland has opted out of the competition, following a similar boycott in 2026 against Israel's participation. RTE also announced it will not broadcast the event, which will take place in Burgas, Bulgaria. The director of the Eurovision Music Contest expressed regret over Ireland's decision but acknowledged their stance.
