MembersEurovision 2019 Won’t Be in Jerusalem

As soon as Netta Barzilai brought the Eurovision title to Israel, plans began for the next final of the world’s largest singing competition to be held in the Jewish state.

It was supposed to be in Jerusalem, because the capital is always the first choice for such events. But after some back and forth, after protests by religious groups and by Palestinians, the show is moving to Tel Aviv. So if you want to witness this spectacle live next year, you have to come to the coastal metropolis.
