A Norwegian Eurovision juror has confessed to violating the competition’s rules by allowing political biases to influence his decision against Israel’s Eden Golan. Daniel Owen, a 24-year-old pop singer from Olso, Norway, admitted in an Instagram post that his views on the Gaza conflict prevented him from voting for Israel, despite being instructed not to let politics sway his judgement. Owen received backlash for his actions but apologized and expressed his support for Palestine. Despite public support for Golan, she finished in fifth place due to the international jury’s low score. The incident has raised concerns about anti-Israel bias in the Eurovision competition.
