Dutch public broadcaster AVROTROS announced Monday that it will boycott the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest in protest of Israel's participation in the competition, Shehab Wire reported. The decision marks the second consecutive year the station has taken such action against the annual pan-European music event.
AVROTROS's boycott reflects deepening tensions within European broadcasting institutions over Israel's involvement in Eurovision. The broadcaster previously boycotted the contest on identical grounds, signaling a sustained position on the matter as the organization prepares for the upcoming competition cycle.
