If it was hosted somewhere then maybe that would change my mind

Why would it be dangerous to host it in Israel? They hosted it in 1979, 1999 and 2019. It's the only country in the Middle East where being gay is not a death sentence. There's a large gay community in Israel and while they don't currently offer gay marriage, they do recognise gay marriages carried out in other countries. They also have a trans community and hold a successful Pride festival every year. Gay people would be safer in Israel than in some eastern European countries. People are not thrown off roofs there merely because they're gay, you're thinking of Islamic countries.
All that said, if the war is still going on it would be unsafe for everyone, but let's hope it's finished by then.
