Eden Golan is in Sweden for the Eurovision Song Contest, but she is not seeing much of the country. The 20-year-old Israeli singer is surrounded by security as she travels between hotel and the contest venue in the city of Malmo. Golan has become a focus for protests by pro-Palestinian demonstrators who want her country kicked out of Eurovision over its war against Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Golan for performing despite “contending with an ugly wave of anti-Semitism.” Golan will compete in the Eurovision final on Saturday after securing a place during Thursday’s semifinal. She said she was “super excited to go on stage once more and share a bit of my love with everyone.”
