The Eurovision organizers have postponed the vote regarding Israel's participation until December.

The European Broadcasting Union has decided to postpone the vote regarding Israel's participation in Eurovision 2026, initially scheduled for early November, due to recent developments in the Middle East. This issue will be discussed at the General Assembly in December, to allow for an open discussion among the organization's members. Israel's participation has generated controversy and calls for a boycott from several European countries, in the context of the conflict with Hamas.
