Likud MK David Bitan said on Monday that in his estimation Eurovision 2019 won't take place in Israel. He blamed the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation for the situation.
"They're not prepared to take out a loan," Bitan told Army Radio. "The corporation has a budget established by law in order that the government can't change it. But that's a problem because they're not willing to take a loan. But to change the law now during the recess, in two to three months, that's also a problem."
