Israel will participate in Eurovision: the committee finds that the song is not “political”. The song Hurricane, performed by Eden Golan, has been approved following the decision of the Eurovision supervisory committee, after analyzing the lyrics of the song.

Podemos has called for a boycott of the festival for not vetoing Israel's participation in the musical contest. Representatives from 37 countries will compete in the competition, which will be held in Malmö. Except for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Portugal and Sweden, all participating countries have already elected their representatives.
