The statement reads: “The RTVE Board of Directors agreed during its meeting on this Tuesday, September 16, that Spain will withdraw from the Eurovision Festival if Israel is part of the event. The measure was taken at the proposal of the RTVE president, José Pablo López, with an absolute majority of the Corporation's governing body.”

Previously the Spanish minister of culture had pushed for the country to be banned. This marks the next step with the broadcaster confirming their resolve to leave the contest, should Israel compete.
