23 January 2024 at 21:14 RUV: Uncertain if Iceland will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest It is uncertain if Iceland will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Sweden this year. The reason is the criticism against Israel participating, in light of the war in Gaza, writes the Icelandic broadcaster RUV. A decision on Iceland’s participation will be made together with the winner of the national singing competition Söngvakeppnin. – They (the participants) apply with the goal of becoming Iceland’s contribution to Eurovision. They are worried about the state of things just like us, says Director General Stefán Eriksson of RUV to his own channel. Eriksson emphasizes that the starting point is that Iceland will participate. This can still change if the winner of the national song competition does not want to participate in the ESC.
