The Netherlands has announced it will take part in Eurovision again, ending its boycott of the contest. The Dutch had stayed away in protest over Israel's participation in the song competition. The decision means the country will rejoin one of Europe's most-watched television events, though debate over Israel's involvement in the contest continues among fans and broadcasters.
Why now: The Netherlands' reversal on boycotting Eurovision over Israel's participation is a notable shift in a contentious cultural-political debate.
