In light of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the participation of Israel's Eurovision representative, Eden Golan, in this year's contest has sparked significant controversy and led to widespread protests.

Hundreds of Danes are expected to travel from Copenhagen to Malmö to join a demonstration against Israel's involvement, coinciding with Golan's performance.

The protest, rallying under the slogan "Exclude Israel from Eurovision," anticipates over 20,000 participants from across Europe.

Despite the pressure, including a campaign urging the Danish Eurovision contestant to boycott the event, artists like Golan have decided to proceed with their performances, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the positive aspects and the music itself.

The Eurovision event is thus set against a backdrop of political activism, with demonstrations planned in support of and against Israel's participation.
