Swiss Eurovision 2024 winner Nemo has announced they will return their trophy to Eurovision headquarters in protest at Israel’s participation in the 2026 Song Contest, following a UN independent commission’s confirmation of genocide in Gaza.


Five European countries — Iceland, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Slovenia — have already declared they will boycott Eurovision 2026 after the European Broadcasting Union confirmed Israel’s eligibility.


The decision to allow Israel to compete in the Vienna-hosted event comes amid mounting outrage over its genocide on Gaza, sparking anger across Europe.

Gotta appreciate the person who writes "Nej till folkmord" in the background. It means "no to genocide" in Swedish.

As an Austrian this makes me so proud edit: I boycotted the 2024 and the 2025 eurovision where an austrian artist won. I mixed up the winners and thought the austrian artist gave their trophy back instead of the swiss artist ...😅
