Ireland’s Eurovision Song Contest entry Bambie Thug has attended the opening of the competition following them accusing the Israeli broadcaster, Kan, of a rule break.
The singer, who uses the pronouns they/them, has previously hit out at Israel’s representative, Eden Golan, competing in the contest, and been outspoken about their pro-Palestine views before becoming the first Irish qualifier since 2018.
