News about Marina Satti

The Israeli delegation at Eurovision claim they were subjected to 'unprecedented display of hatred' by rival countries and entrants at this year's contest. A spokesman for the public broadcaster Kan yesterday claimed the 2024 event was overshadowed by frazzled tempers and protests over Israel's participation. It went on to say the Israelis at the event 'maintained a dignified and respectful approach' before saying they respected the rules 'unlike some other delegations' in a pointed barb. Eden Golan represented the country at the event in Malmö, Sweden , and was greeted by a mixture of boos and cheers as she finished fifth. After the performance on Saturday, Eurovision organisers said there were some delegations which didn't 'respect the spirit of the rules' but stopped short of naming names.Pictured left is Israeli singer Eden Golan, pictured top right is Italy's Angelina Mango, pictured bottom right is Ireland's Bambie Thug.

Bambie, who launched into a furious rant about their 'horrible' experience on the show after placing behind Israel in the final, sported an oversized leather hoody with a pair of flared black trousers. They further accessorised with a scarf and shielded their eyes from the sun with a pair of cool shades. 

Eurovision's pro-Palestine Irish act Bambie Thug launched into a furious rant about their 'horrible' experience on the show after placing behind Israel in the final. This year's show was perhaps the most controversial ever, with acts hiding messages in support of Palestine in their costumes, a disqualification and multiple feuds.  One of the most talked about performers was Ireland's Bambi Thug - who accused Eurovision bosses of 'not supporting' them amid a row with Israel over comments made about them by a broadcaster.

The act, who self-describes as a 'queer witch', told journalists in the press centre that Israeli broadcaster Kan 'incited violence against me twice, three times', and that their team had brought it up to the EBU, but that the organiser had still not responded. '[The EBU] waited to the last minute, we still haven't gotten statement back to us, allowed us to be scapegoats, allowed us to be the spokesperson for standing up for ourselves,' Bambie said. The dramatic development comes after Bambie missed their dress rehearsal, saying that a 'situation' required 'urgent attention' from the EBU but giving no further details.

Dozens of protesters locked arms and lay on the ground outside the venue draped in Palestine flags - and struggled with Swedish riot police who tried to remove them. Ticket-holders queued nearby decked out in colourful costumes and tinsel as protestors screamed 'Shame on you' before attempting to storm through barriers to get closer to the arena, prompting riot police to form a cordon. The chaotic scenes come amid the withdrawal of two points announcers, the expulsion of a finalist over an alleged altercation with a camerawoman and several performers missing rehearsals in the most chaotic contest since it began in 1956.

The BBC's gaffe-prone presenter Maryam Moshiri has brought joy to Eurovision fans this afternoon after she suffered another mishap on air. Hilarious footage has emerged of the 46-year-old making another blunder just months after she showed her middle finger to viewers on BBC News in December. The clip sees the 46-year-old batting her assistant away as he tries to fix the host's hair after the cameras have started rolling. The presenter then recovers from the blunder and delivers the start of the bulletin hours ahead of the beginning of the contest. In response to the post on X showing the mix-up, Ms Moshiri said: 'Omg I can't believe this happened. There is a delay and everyone was so worried about my messy hair! @MarvinNadalutti your hand is famous!'

Ireland's entry Bambie Thug missed their final dress rehearsal after they said a 'situation' required 'urgent attention' from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), who are organising the event. Meanwhile, outside the venue 15,000 pro Palestine protestors gathered in Malmö demanding Israeli contestant Eden Golan be kicked out of the final. It comes just hours after it was revealed Dutch contender Joost Klein has been axed from the contest after being quizzed by police over an incident involving 'a female member of the production crew'. Marina Satti of Greece and Nemo of Switzerland missed the flag parade also missed the flag parade - the day after Satti pretended to fall asleep as Golan was speaking.

It is a statement of the utmost courage and defiance from a young singer with the eyes of the world on her. After braving protests ahead of tonight's Eurovision Song Contest - and booing during rehearsals - Israeli contestant Eden Golan says: 'I'm not scared. In fact, I've been very happy.' In an exclusive interview with the Mail, the 20-year-old contestant said: '[The semi-final] gave me a huge boost of energy and I'm totally focused.' Sweden 's terror threat is at four on a five-point scale as it prepares to host the final against a backdrop of demonstrations against Israel's participation.
