Irlanda boicotează Eurovision pentru al doilea an la rând din cauza prezenței Israelului

Ireland's public broadcaster RTE announced it will not participate in Eurovision 2027 in Bulgaria, protesting Israel's involvement amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This marks the second consecutive year Ireland has withdrawn from the competition, citing ongoing human suffering in the region. RTE expressed concerns over the lack of access for international journalists to Gaza and emphasized the need for accountability. The decision follows similar withdrawals by other countries, including the Netherlands, and reflects a growing sentiment against the contest's neutrality in light of military conflicts. Eurovision 2027 is set for May in Burgas, Bulgaria, after Bulgaria's DARA won the previous edition.
