Madonna heeft zojuist officieel aangegeven dat zij zal optreden tijdens de finale van het Eurovisie Songfestival in Tel Aviv, wat aanstaande zaterdag 18 mei plaatsvindt. Over haar optreden zegt ze:
“I’ll never stop playing music to suit someone’s political agenda nor will I stop speaking out against violations of human rights wherever in the world they may be.
My heart breaks every time I hear about the innocent lives that are lost in this region and the violence that is so often perpetuated to suit the political goals of people who benefit from this ancient conflict. I hope and pray that we will soon break free from this terrible cycle of destruction and create a new path towards peace.”
