One of the UK鈥檚 biggest Eurovision parties has been cancelled in protest at Israel鈥檚 inclusion, so how worthwhile is a boycott of the event as a response to the war in Gaza?

The song contest鈥檚 organisers say the event is non-political, but this isn鈥檛 the first time global events have had an impact on participation and even lyrics - we chart the key moments. And it鈥檚 not the first time Israel鈥檚 participation has sparked debate - a Eurovision expert talks us through the ups and downs of its long association with the event.

We鈥檒l also hear about the controversy around Israel鈥檚 song this year and how it鈥檚 changed, plus the view from the Middle East on what Israelis and Palestinians are saying.
