The director of the Israeli song at Eurovision 2024, Yoav Tzafir, summed up the results of the music competition.
“Despite statements that Eurovision is not a political event, I would question this. We saw how the judges made decisions and how the audience reacted,” he said.
Answering questions from the Ynet portal about his surprise at the hostility, the director admitted:
“I was naive, so I was surprised. Eden encountered evil. I was also offended by the hostility towards us. The first time we were booed, it was very painful and we had a difficult night – it’s true. We started the rehearsal in the midst of booing and booing “Yoav Tzafir added.
We previously wrote about a number of incidents involving pro-Palestinian contestants that occurred at the Eurovision 2024 final. In particular, the representative of Portugal appeared on stage in a dress created by a Palestinian designer and with long nails painted in the colors of the Palestinian flag and with a Palestinian keffiyeh pattern.

Also, after the final, the Eurovision 2024 participant from Ireland burst into abuse because of Israel.
Let us remind you that the representative of Israel Eden Golan, who flawlessly performed the song “Hurricane”, won 5th place for our country at Eurovision 2024. Her final performance at the competition can be viewed in vivid photographs.
Singer Eden Golan has already landed in Israel, and the President of our country, Isaac Herzog, has already communicated with her.
“Cursor” also reported on the country that most supported Israel at Eurovision 2024.
In addition, we wrote that the Eurovision winner, Swiss artist Nemo, accidentally broke his cup on stage and was injured.
