The Netherlands is walking away from Eurovision 2027 after the Dutch NPO gang halted preparations, citing the "weak support" for participation. The decision follows growing opposition to the inclusion of Israel amid the genocide in Gaza. Ireland have already confirmed that the teenager will take part in the 2027 competition, while the Iceland wide receiver backs a non-participation unless Israel is ruled out. Spain's leadership also overcame the continuation of her son's boycott, although the final decision remains pending.
