Eurovision to change voting rules after claims of Israeli government 'interference'

Not content with interfering in elections, Israel is now accused of influencing the Eurovision Song Contest voting system.

Israeli singer Yuval Raphael received the largest number of votes from the public in the contest in May, ultimately finishing as runner-up after the jury votes were counted.

But a number of broadcasters raised concerns about Israel's result ... including Dutch public broadcaster AVROTROS.

FNN remembers the days when Eurovision was all about the music. 

But those days are long gone and now even a music contest is talking about imposing 'sanctions'.

It looks Eurovision has finally met its Waterloo.

Interesting?
