Switzerland emerged victorious in the 68th Eurovision song contest, amidst controversies over Israel's participation and the disqualification of the Dutch contestant just before the grand final. Nemo, a non-binary Swiss singer, clinched the title with their energetic performance of "The Code," beating out top contenders Croatia and Israel. Their operatic and drum'n'bass-infused song dominated the jury vote, comprising half of the total score. However, the event was marred by the disqualification of the Dutch contestant, Joost Klein, due to an incident involving a female member of the production crew, threatening to overshadow the musical performances at the world's largest live music event.
The Dutch broadcaster expressed shock at the disqualification of Joost Klein and refused to allocate points from its jury. The controversy intensified due to Klein's apparent disagreement with Israel's participation, voiced during a press conference. Meanwhile, Israel's clearance to compete after modifying song lyrics about a Hamas massacre stirred political debates. Pro-Palestine activists urged a boycott, leading to protests during the event in Malmö, where some were detained by police. Despite the controversy, cheers overshadowed boos as Israel's contestant took the stage.
Eurovision's organizers dismissed rumors linking Joost Klein's suspension to other performers or the Israeli delegation. Swedish police investigated a complaint from a crew member, leading to Klein's disqualification due to alleged inappropriate behavior. The Dutch broadcaster Avrotros expressed shock, stating Klein made a threatening gesture toward a camerawoman. Despite offering solutions, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) upheld the disqualification. Eurovision's executive director faced audience backlash, and rumors circulated about Ireland's entry, Bambie Thug, potentially withdrawing after missing the final dress rehearsal.
Olly Alexander's entry for Britain, "Dizzy," placed 18th in the Eurovision contest with zero points from the audience vote. Joost Klein, a former YouTuber from Friesland, was expected to leave an impression with his multilingual song "Europapa," featuring imagery of a burning "European house." Despite the controversy, he did not compete. At a pro-Palestine rally, a participant waved a placard supporting Klein, highlighting the entanglement of politics and pop at Eurovision.
