UK's Eurovision Act Olly Alexander Faces Criticism for Anti-Israel Statement

Despite Calls for BBC to Cut Ties with Alexander, No Action Planned

Olly Alexander, the UK's Eurovision act, has been criticized for signing a statement accusing Israel of genocide and describing it as an 'apartheid state'.
The statement was coordinated by LGBTQ+ activist group Voices4London and called for a ceasefire in Gaza and for Israel to allow aid into the area.
Alexander's selection by the BBC has been criticized by the Conservative Party and the Jewish charity Campaign Against Antisemitism, who have called for the BBC to cut ties with him.
Despite the criticism, the BBC reportedly has no plans to take any action as Alexander signed the letter before he was revealed as the UK's act for Eurovision.
Israel has accused the BBC of shirking its 'moral responsibility' after the news about Alexander's signed letter emerged.
