Noam Bettan represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest this year via Associated PressEurovision bosses are introducing some new rules ahead of next year’s contest.
In the event that a winning country does fall into this category, organisers will “identify an alternative host broadcaster” which will “not be required to stage the event on behalf of another member” as the UK did with Ukraine in 2023.
