Advantages:

1.It will cost less to host with fewer countries. So the UK pays less money
2. With fewer entrants, the UK has more chance of winning
3. It will be a shorter show

It's win/win from where i'm standing

Not sure what the logic is boycotting this year and not previous ones given the changes they've made and now that there is a peace settlement. Makes it seem more driven by spite than principle

Only 4 so far. And there’s other countries who can join in replacement of them.

Well, we may see Kazakhstan and Canada invited. Even if not, there’s still 32 countries participating so far. More than enough.

Statement of the Israeli Embassy in The Hague;
"The Embassy of Israel regrets the position taken by AVROTROS regarding the Eurovision Song Contest. The Song Contest is intended as a celebration of music and creativity, and the decision by the Dutch broadcaster runs counter to the values that the event stands for. Such a boycott is pointless and ultimately serves only to isolate the Netherlands, not Israel."

Belgium are taking part (it was Flanders who were against competing, but Wallonia decides in 2026 so)

Portugal are also taking part

[Nicky91]

Netherlands: NOS and NTR are the broadcasters who are airing the contest next year, and not AVROTROS, and a commentator is yet to be revealed

Genocide is funny I suppose.

It’ll be interesting to know if those who support the decision of Spain etc will also not watch next year but have for the past couple with Israel still in it.

Can you really call it a genocide, when their population continues to grow?

If genocide was Israel's aim, they'd blow through a lot more than Hamas' human shields.

[Nicky91]

Georgia confirmed participation meanwhile, same goes for Denmark confirming they are taking part


and Lithuania, Latvia confirmed they are staying in the contest



so likely 35 or 36 countries it seems for Vienna, considering the invite for Kazakhstan had already been sent back in July, and there had been advanced talks, so they'll likely get the ''special surprise announcement'' treatment, like they did with the Luxembourg comeback

It's true. Had Israel used all of its destructive capabilities Gaza would be vast car park now.
