Global backlash grows: Israel faces cultural and economic boycott over Gaza

Reports from Israeli media reveal growing economic and cultural backlash against Israel amid its genocide in Gaza, with boycotts targeting products, participation in Eurovision, and trade more broadly. Multiple companies are refusing to work with Israeli products, especially when packaging labels them “Made in Israel”, and even when not clearly indicated many customers recognise the Israeli barcode beginning with 729. Distributors and patent partners abroad are breaking ties on moral and political grounds. Several European broadcasters, including those in Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, and Iceland, have threatened to withdraw from Eurovision 2026 if Israel is allowed to compete. Hollywood is also being drawn in: over 3,000 actors, filmmakers, and producers have pledged to boycott Israeli film institutions they say are complicit in abuses against Palestinians. These developments suggest that Israel is facing not only diplomatic condemnation but also material consequences in international commerce and cultural cooperation, potentially reshaping its global economic and cultural relationships.
