Eurovison 2024: Israel’s contestant, Eden Golan, gets security, boos

Eden Golan, Israel's contestant for the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden, is facing heightened security and mixed reactions, with boos and cheers during her performances. Amidst ongoing protests by pro-Palestinian groups and a significant police-estimated crowd marching against Israel's participation, Golan has been preparing by practicing under adverse conditions, including simulated booing. Despite the challenges, she advanced to the finals, supported by a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against the backdrop of antisemitism. Her song "Hurricane," originally titled "October Rain," had to be renamed due to contest rules against political content.
