Slovenia has called on the European Broadcasting Union to disqualify Israel from the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest over its ongoing military actions in Gaza. Slovenia's public broadcaster warned that it might withdraw from the contest if its request is denied. The controversy follows Slovenian President Natasa Pirc Musar's recent comments condemning Israel and Russia for violating the UN Charter. Eurovision has faced repeated criticism over Israel's participation, but organizers have resisted calls to disqualify the country, maintaining that Eurovision is a non-political event. Israel's place in Eurovision faces further uncertainty amid domestic moves to privatize Kan, the country's public broadcaster.
