Tension was in the air after Israel qualified for the final of Eurovision 2024. During a press conference, Eden Golan was asked if she felt her presence in the competition brought 'risk and danger' to the other participants. After being told she didn't have to answer the question, Netherlands representative Joost Klein asked 'Why not'? Joost also covered his face with his country's flag during most of Eden Golan's answers. Henry McKean reports from Malmö. #eurovision #eurovisionsongcontest #eurovision2024 #malmö #israel #netherlands
