US EditionPro-Palestinian protesters, police clash in Basel during Eurovision
- Pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed briefly with riot police in central Basel during the Eurovision Song Contest on May 17, 2025.

- The clashes and protests highlight rising tensions linked to the war in Gaza and prompted Israel’s National Security Council to urge its citizens in Basel to avoid confrontations and keep identifiers low-profile.
