Israel modifies Eurovision lyrics following controversy

Israel's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, "October Rain," has had its lyrics requested for revision by Israel's public broadcaster, Kan. The song was initially barred from submission due to its apparent political references, which go against the contest's rules on neutrality. The leaked lyrics include the line, "There's no air left to breathe." Previous reports suggest that the song contains references to the war in Gaza. Israel has won the Eurovision Song Contest a total of four times.
