Following a notable increase in televotes for Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest, Spain's RTVE and Belgium's VRT expressed concerns about the voting process. Ireland's RTÃ requested a detailed breakdown of the voting from the EBU, and opposition politicians urged for a review of the voting results, with calls for a potential boycott of Israel. The results saw Israel awarded high televotes but low jury points, indicating possible irregularities. The discussion around these votes reflects a larger political sentiment surrounding Israel and its representation in international events.
RTVE has called for an audit after a surge in audience votes for Israel during the Eurovision Song Contest, expressing concerns over the voting process.
A spokesperson for RTÃ stated, 'RTÃ has requested a breakdown in voting numbers from the EBU and its voting partner Once.' They plan to review voting discussions after the contest.
