Eurovision crew member hit with paint as pair try to disrupt Israel performance

  • Protests against Israel's participation occurred during the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, including a filmed protester making a throat-slitting gesture at Israel's delegation on Sunday.
  • These protests followed Israel's intensified offensive starting Saturday aimed at defeating Hamas after its deadly October 2023 attack that sparked the Gaza war.
  • Pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed with Basel police using tear gas and water cannon to block marches, while protesters carried signs like "No Music for Murder" and "Stop Genocide".
  • Israel's broadcaster Kan filed a police complaint after recording the gesture during the opening parade, and Israel's National Security Council urged Israelis in Basel to avoid confrontations and keep low profiles.
  • The conflict and protests illustrate tensions amid worsening Gaza conditions and tens of thousands dead, suggesting ongoing international concern over the escalating war's humanitarian impact.
