Overview

• Yuval Raphael, representing Israel at Eurovision, plans to share her survival story from the 2023 Supernova massacre, despite facing online threats and anticipated protests.
• Raphael survived the Hamas attack by hiding under corpses for eight hours and has since used her platform to advocate resilience and strength.
• Eurovision's policy allowing non-participating flags, including Palestinian flags, has fueled expectations of visible political demonstrations during Raphael's performance.
• Irish band Murder Capital canceled two German concerts after venues refused their request to display the Palestinian flag as a political and humanitarian gesture.
• The intersection of music and geopolitics has intensified, with Eurovision and live music events becoming platforms for broader political expressions and disputes.
