đź’¨ Abstract

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested in Basel, Switzerland, against Israel's participation in the Eurovision contest, particularly against a survivor of the October 7 Hamas attacks, Yuval Raphael, set to perform in the finale. Protesters burned Israeli flags and held signs advocating for a boycott of Israel. Despite the controversy and protests, Raphael remains a favorite to win. Israel's National Security Council has issued warnings and advisories to citizens traveling to the event due to potential security threats.
