Loreen's silent protest at Eurovision amid Israel controversy
In accordance with EBU rules, last year's winners must present and hand over the trophies to the top Eurovision artists. However, Loreen seems to have no plans to adhere to this rule under one specific circumstance. She has thought through her response to a potential victory by Israel.

This year's Eurovision has sparked negative reactions among fans and performers alike. Amidst continuous scandals, some artists do not want to be associated with Israel, which, despite the ongoing situation in the Gaza Strip, will perform in the final.
Loreen, heralded as the undisputed queen of Eurovision after her second triumphant performance last year, is expected to hand over the trophy to this year's winner. But what if that winner is Israel?
Loreen's stance if Eden Golan wins
According to reports from The Sun, Loreen has decided on today's finale. If Israel is victorious, she plans to stage an unconventional act; she will place the trophy on a pedestal but exit before Eden Golan is officially welcomed. This act is intended to describe the situation in the Gaza Strip.
Insights from The Sun suggest that this act could constitute a breach of Loreen's contract with the EBU, which clearly stipulates that she should avoid any actions that could tarnish the organization's reputation.
