Israeli Eurovision Song Contest entrant Eden Golan will perform at the second semi-final as protests take place in Malmo, Sweden.

The 20-year-old singer, whose emotional Hurricane was reworked from a previous track called October Rain, which was thought to reference the Hamas attacks on Israel, will take to the stage on Thursday evening.
