I don't think Israel actually wants to compete this year, tbh. We all know the vote ain't gonna be pretty. Don't think the Eurovision organisation want them to compete either, too much controversy, but they don't want the fallout from actually banning them.

So the EBC will be strict on their conditions, while still claiming not to have banned them, and Israel can get to withdraw out of principle. Win win.

Are you saying if Israel competes the UK might get points this year?!?!?

It's possible for two countries to get nil points
