A vote on Israel’s participation had been due to take place in November, but the European Broadcasting Union, organisers of the annual contest, cancelled it due to “recent developments in the Middle East”, including the ceasefire in Gaza.
It said at the time that Israel’s participation would instead be discussed at an in-person meeting in December, but it is not yet clear if a vote will still take place.
Green said broadcasters and their artists participate, not governments, and it was important to “keep the geopolitics off of the stage”.
Austrian national broadcaster ORF, which will host the contest in 2026, has previously urged countries not to boycott the contest next year in Vienna.
Asked if the vote would still be happening, Green said: “We very much hope this package of measures gives our members the reassurance they need to ensure Eurovision remains a neutral and impartial space.”
Israel came second in the most recent Eurovision Song Contest in May, with its singer Yuval Raphael receiving the largest combined public vote.
However, the addition of jury votes led to Austria’s JJ being declared the winner for his song Wasted Love.
