Alex and Conor are back to unpack the fallout from the EBU Winter General Assembly, where newly debated and enacted voting rules have reshaped the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. The decisions made at the meeting have paved the way for Israel’s participation, and prompted five countries to withdraw from the contest - including Ireland.
