Eurovision 2024: Israel allowed to compete after lyric change
- 2 months ago
Israel will be allowed to compete at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 after changing the lyrics to its song, organisers have confirmed.
Eden Golan will represent the country at the contest in Sweden this May.
Her original song, October Rain, was thought to reference the Hamas attacks of 7 October and had been barred for breaking rules on political neutrality.
Israel's public broadcaster agreed to amend the song, now titled Hurricane, and will unveil it this weekend.
