Group 1 - The 2025 Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Basel, Switzerland, marking the first time since 1989 that Switzerland hosts the event, with the theme "Music Brings People Together" [1] - A coalition of 72 musicians who previously participated in the contest has signed an open letter urging the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to ban Israeli participants and the Israeli national broadcaster from the competition, citing Israel's involvement in actions against Palestinians [1] - The musicians argue that allowing Israel to participate would equate to endorsing its national image, and they question the EBU's double standards in handling the participation of countries involved in conflicts, referencing the ban on Russian participants following the Ukraine conflict [1] Group 2 - Despite the controversy, it is expected that the open letter will not significantly impact this year's Eurovision, as a similar petition with over 56,000 signatures was submitted prior to the 2024 contest, yet Israeli contestant Golan still participated [2] - The EBU has implemented strict behavioral guidelines for participants, prohibiting political comments and harassment, in an effort to maintain order and reduce controversy during the competition [2]
