Eurovision 2024: Israel's Eden Golan makes it through to grand final with Hurricane after protests

Israel has made it into the Eurovision grand final, despite calls for the country's entry to be banned from the contest due to the ongoing war in Gaza. Israel's success in reaching the final stage of the show - which will take place on Saturday - comes against a backdrop of large protests across Malmo, Sweden, which is this year's host city.

They have said other 'flags, symbols, clothing, items and banners being used for the likely purpose of instrumentalising the TV shows' will be removed. Golan performed her song Hurricane dressed in white and flanked by five backing dancers. The performance centred around a large wheel-like prop in the centre of the stage. She has said she hopes to unite people through music.
