Eurovision members to discuss voting 'interference' rule changes - and potential Israel ban

Members of the European Broadcasting Union are meeting in Geneva to discuss recent changes to the Eurovision Song Contest voting system, following allegations of interference by the Israeli government. The new rules aim to prevent governments and third parties from influencing the contest's outcome. If members are not satisfied with the measures, a vote may be held on Israel's participation in the 2026 contest. Israeli broadcaster KAN is preparing for next year's event and will present its stance regarding possible disqualification during the meeting. The controversy follows calls from several European broadcasters for greater transparency and a review of the voting process, amid ongoing tensions related to the conflict in Gaza.
