Belgium's public broadcaster aired an anti-Israel protest clip before the Eurovision broadcast. During the Eurovision semi-finals on Tuesday night, Belgium's public broadcaster VRT aired an anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian video under pressure from the workers' union.

The video repeatedly included the phrase "Raise your voice for the Palestinians" alongside subtitles such as "Israel has a voice in Eurovision, Palestinians do not."

According to promises made in Belgium, the video is expected to continue airing throughout the week as long as Israel remains part of Eurovision.
This is not the first time Belgium's public broadcaster has aired a protest video against Israel. The same was done last year, also due to pressure from the professional workers' union.
