I feel like this is the EBU’s last chance to ban Israel - they have done so well the past few years with mediocre woe is us/let’s rise up/etc songs and now have a proven vote rig/propaganda campaign to utilise again.
If they put a team towards spending the next year finding the right banger it’s an easy win and the end of Eurovision as we know it.
Curious that this is an article from an EBU platform.

Alongside the discussions of the Reference Group, one aspect the EBU will be looking at is the promotion of our acts by their delegations and associated parties. Such promotion is allowed under our rules and acts to celebrate the artists, increase their profile and launch future careers – it’s very much part of the music industry - but we want to ensure that such promotion is not disproportionally affecting the natural mobilization of communities and diasporas we see in all entertainment audience voting.
Another example is the number of votes we allow per person – 20 per payment method. This is designed to ensure that audiences of all ages can vote for more than one of their favourite songs and there is no current evidence that it disproportionally effects the final result – but the question has been asked and so we will look at it.

Good riddance. Hope the next one has some dignity.
Looks like a late-00s rebrand of a local radio station post-GCap buyout.

Rest assured, nothing will happen.
The broadcasters seem to have finally figured out it’s down to them.
Spain feels like a good chance of following, if the strength of protest during the cycling this last couple of weeks is anything to go by, and how some local councils have boycotted.
