Swedish police have been warned of a possible attempt by pro-Palestinian activists to infiltrate the Malmö Arena, where the Eurovision 2024 grand final is due to take place this evening, May 11.
This incident was planned with the aim of carrying out a “public provocation” during the performance of an Israeli representative at the Eden Golan song competition. Swedish police also announced that they had launched an investigation into anti-Israel Dutch representative Joost Klein.
As you know, he was accused of attacking a photographer from the Swedish state television company SVT, the organizer of the competition. Also, singer Bambie Thug, representing Ireland, told reporters that when she heard that Eden Golan had made it to the grand final, she and her delegation shed tears.
During the interview, she wore the keffiyeh, which has become a symbol of the Palestinian struggle.
Earlier, “Cursor” wrote that despite the tense atmosphere at rehearsals and protests of pro-Palestinian activists outside the concert venue, Israel still managed to overcome all difficulties and, thanks to the votes of the audience, reached the grand final of Eurovision 2024. The final stage is scheduled for Saturday, May 11.
During Eden Golan’s performance in the semi-finals, sounds of disapproval were heard only at the beginning, but the rest of the time the audience actively supported the singer, applauding her.
In addition, “Cursor” has already reported that at Eurovision, Israeli participant Eden Golan shared her experiences regarding the anti-Israeli protests in Malmo and the booing of her performances at the competition. Her family, including her father, mother and brother, remained at home in Tel Aviv, deciding that their presence at the event might cause unnecessary problems.
