JAKARTA - More than 1,000 musicians in Sweden, who host Eurovision Song Contest this year, signed a petition calling for Israel to be barred from participating in the upcoming competition due to the war against Hamas in Gaza.
The petition accuses Israel of committing war crimes' and condemns the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) or the European Broadcasting Union, which hosted the event, for what it calls an "extraordinary double standard" in allowing Israel to compete while banning Russia from invading Ukraine.
Similar calls were also heard from groups in Iceland and Finland which urged their countries not to take part if Israel took part. Sweden itself hosted the contest after its contestant, Loreen, won last year's competition.
Dikutip dari The Times Of Israel, Rabu, Lembaga penyiaran publik Swedia mengeluarkan pernyataan menyusul petisi tersebut, dengan menyatakan bahwa “EBU-lah yang memutuskan siapa yang berpartisipasi dalam kompetisi, dan sebagai negara tuan rumah, SVT (Sveriges Television) mematuhi apa yang diputuskan oleh EBU.”

EBU repeatedly rejected the call, and said Israel would be allowed to participate in competitions at Malmo this May. So far, no country has left Israel's membership.
Israel will elect its representative this year for next week's song contest, and will announce the song in March.
