Over 400 celebrities and industry executives, including Helen Mirren, Liev Schreiber, Scooter Braun, Emmy Rossum, Gene Simmons, Boy George, Mayim Bialik, Julianna Margulies, Sharon Osbourne, and Debra Messing, have signed an open letter supporting Israel's inclusion in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. The letter comes amid calls to bar Israel from the competition, highlighting the European Broadcasting Union's commitment to include Israel despite it not being a European country. The Eurovision Song Contest has rejected calls to ban Israel over the Gaza war, emphasizing that it is a non-political music event and a competition between public service broadcasters who are members of the EBU, not a contest between governments.
