allow Israel to compete in this year\u2019s competition in light of the current situation in Gaza and the Middle East, with some fans and members of the music industry calling for a boycott of the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Noel Curran \u2013 director general of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organises Eurovision \u2013 has said in a <a

data-outlook-id=\"17b2ac71-e110-4952-ba11-23909f9862b7\">statement<\/a>: \u201cWe understand the concerns and deeply held views around the current conflict in the Middle East. We can\u2019t fail to be moved by the profound suffering of all those caught up in this terrible war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the Eurovision Song Contest is a non-political music event and a competition between public service broadcasters who are members of the EBU. It is not a contest between governments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a member-led organisation, our governing bodies \u2013 the Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group and the Executive Board \u2013 did review the participants list for the 2024 Contest and agreed that the Israeli public broadcaster KAN met all the competition rules for this year and can participate as it has for the past 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The artists taking part in this year\u2019s contest have also faced backlash for not pulling out of the ceremony, including the UK\u2019s act Olly Alexander, who signed a <a title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexander_olly\/status\/1773651395440267494\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexander_olly\/status\/1773651395440267494\" data-outlook-id=\"df64dbfb-f3b9-4239-8b0c-f405e94f1829\">joint statement<\/a> alongside other entrants explaining they \u201cdo not feel comfortable being silent\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to us to stand in solidarity with the oppressed and communicate our heartfelt wish for peace, an immediate and lasting ceasefire, and the safe return of all hostages,\u201d the statement read. \u201cWe stand united against all forms of hate, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe firmly believe in the unifying power of music, enabling people to transcend differences and foster meaningful conversations and connections. We feel that it is our duty to create and uphold this space, with a strong hope that it will inspire greater compassion and empathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Eurovision 2024 live final will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday 11th May at 8pm.<\/strong><u\/><u\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can also check out the full list of<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/eurovision-song-contest-winners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Eurovision winners<\/strong><\/a><strong> and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/uk-eurovision-winners-how-many-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>how many times the UK has won Eurovision<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/\" data-outlook-id=\"5e8dc4a5-d044-46e3-bf3e-efc69810af55\">Entertainment<\/a> coverage or visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" data-outlook-id=\"0c7e1ff1-4f04-467e-bcc5-8d626d3b38aa\">TV Guide<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" data-outlook-id=\"ab3d718c-090d-459b-a786-ab2c48561f46\">Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what else is on.
