On 4 December, EBU members voted to bring in new rules preventing governments and third parties from disproportionate campaigns to promote their country's acts, but decided not to vote on Israel's inclusion in the competition. In a statement, the EBU said that "the Eurovision song contest 2026 should proceed as planned" with Israel competing, despite the country's military action in Gaza. As a result, four countries - Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands - confirmed that they will not partake in the 2026 contest, which will take place in Vienna next May.
