A survivor of the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival in 2023 has qualified for Eurovision's grand final tomorrow amid furious protests over Israel's controversial participation in the competition.
Yuval Raphael, who will perform New Day Will Rise, saw her preview show interrupted yesterday by six pro-Palestinian demonstrators carrying flags.
Under the arena rules, all flags are allowed but there are limits on size, and so the audience members were quickly ejected from the St Jakobshalle arena.
Later on, footage from the TV broadcast semi-final shows the Israeli entry being booed once again by some sections of the audience.
The jeers are even more audible on social media footage of the performance - but Raphael was still one of the 10 acts to suceed in yesterday's public vote and make it through to the grand final.
