Last update: 10 hours agoEurovision in Vienna: The contest kicks off Tuesday with Israel’s entry still in the spotlight, despite a five-country boycott (Spain, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland) over Israel’s Gaza war. In Israeli coverage, the mood is defiant—“No one likes us, we don’t care”—and attention turns to pushing votes for Noam Bettan, performing “Michelle” in Hebrew, English and French in the first semi-final. San Marino on stage: Boy George makes his Eurovision debut for San Marino, teaming with Senhit for “Superstar,” as SMRTV leans into big-name casting to boost the microstate’s visibility. Boy George’s message: He also shared solidarity with London’s Jewish community amid rising antisemitism, framing it as “doing what is right.” Local culture: The Huntington in San Marino spotlights landmark oaks for LA250 and is set to install Robert Indiana’s “LOVE” sculpture later this year. Travel note: Some European cities are adding “tourist taxes” that can add up to about €16 a night.
