You forgot Israel on the map, which is the reason for the most senior ex-attendees to boycot the event this year. #eurovision

Of the seven countries who organized the 1956 Eurovision Song Contest, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxemburg are participating in 2026. Only the Netherlands aren't.
