The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organizes Eurovision, plans to exclude the song “October Rain” by Israeli participant Eden Golan from the competition.
Walla News reports this, specifying that the organizers saw a political context in the lyrics of the song.
At the moment, experts are analyzing the lyrics of the song, the final decision will be made based on the results of the analysis.
Israeli Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar called the EBU’s intention to remove an Israeli song from the competition “scandalous.” In his opinion, the Eden Golan song reflects the feelings of Israelis and does not contain a political context. He expressed the hope that Eurovision will remain a music competition and become a platform for political conflicts.
