Eurovision-2025. Israel's representative was booed during the performance (video).

Second semifinal of Eurovision-2025

On the night of May 16, the second semifinal of the international song contest 'Eurovision-2025' took place, which was not without loud scandals. This was reported by 'Glk.com'.

In the spotlight was Israel's representative - singer Yuval Rafael. During the performance of the song 'New Day Will Rise', the hall erupted with a wave of disapproving shouts. At the beginning of the performance, it was clearly audible how part of the audience booed the artist. It turned out that there were many pro-Palestinian activists with flags present, who demanded the removal of Israel from the list of participants as early as during the opening of the contest.

Interestingly, in the television broadcast, this tension was felt much less. Probably, the organizers intentionally enhanced the applause effect to hide the negative reaction of the audience. However, in the video that is circulating on social networks, the true atmosphere in the hall is clearly visible - loud shouts, outrage, and a lack of enthusiasm for the performance of the Israeli singer.
