# Spain’s public broadcaster has called for a “debate” over Israel’s participation in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland due to “concerns” over the situation in war-torn Gaza. RTVE has sent a letter to the European Broadcasting Union. The Swiss city of Basel will host the glitzy annual extravaganza, one of the world’s biggest live television events which involves countries from Europe to Australia, at the St. Jakobshalle indoor arena, with the semi-finals on 13 and 15 May, and the final on 17 May.
