PA journalists call for boycott of Eurovision in Israel

The Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate on Wednesday called for a boycott of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Israel, Maariv reported.

In a letter to the European Broadcasting Union, the Syndicate which is based in Ramallah and made up mostly of Fatah members, wrote that Eurovision “may be held in Jerusalem, or in any other part of occupied Palestine, and it violates the rights of the Palestinians - with an emphasis on their right to self-determination.”
