Pro-Palestine protesters condemn Israel’s Eurovision performance

As Israel’s Eurovision performance drew to a close, Palestinian protesters outside the arena grew increasingly frustrated with what they deemed an occupation and illegal actions by Israeli forces. During the show, some demonstrators chanted "Free Palestine" and waved the Palestinian flag, prompting Israeli police to take action, including arresting and dragging them away. Meanwhile, those outside the venue criticized police tactics, arguing that Israel’s handling of Gaza's ongoing violations of international law should have disqualified it from hosting the event.
