Austria's foreign minister has begged countries not to boycott next year's Eurovision over Israel's participation as the BBC ponders broadcasting the song contest.
After winning the most recent competition Austria, is set to host the 70th annual music extravaganza in Vienna next May.
But several countries and their broadcasters have already pledged to withdraw from the competition to protest the war in Gaza if Israel is allowed to take part.
The UK is yet to make a decision on whether they would boycott the competition - with BBC director-general Tim Davie in the process of reviewing their position.
Beate Meinl-Reisinger said boycotting Eurovision would only deepen divisions.
