Several people have been detained so far.

Following tensions at this year's annual Eurovision contest, the city of Malmö in Sweden said that they would not host the contest in coming years.

While a vocal minority of protesters oppose Israel’s fight against Hamas, millions of Eurovision viewers around the world respect Israel and its Eurovision representative Eden Golan.

Swedish 2023 Eurovision winner Loreen plans not to hand the trophy over to Israel should Eden Golan win, already has a plan for such a scenario to avoid contact with Israeli contestant.

Israel's Eurovision contestant Eden Golan soared to second place following her performance despite protests, reflecting a triumph amid controversy.

Social media users noticed the absence of Eurovision elevator interviews host, Rylan Clark, in the video in which Golan appears.

Large protests against Israeli participation took place outside the auditorium where the final was held on Thursday.

During the performance of Eden Golan's song "Hurricane", spectators in the audience booed in contempt, and some even left the hall.

Golan, 20, is competing with the song "Hurricane" which initially went under the name "October Rain."

Israeli Eurovision contestant Eden Golan skipped the song contest's opening gala ceremony on the Turquoise Carpet to instead attend a Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony with Malmo's Jewish residents.
