On 7 May Swedish-Palestinian, Eric Saade, wore the keffiyeh during his opening performance at Eurovision 2024.

Eurovision expressed 'regret' that he "chose to compromise the non-political nature of the event" and that all performers are made aware of the rules.
Eric took to Instagram to say 'I just wanted to be inclusive and wear something that is authentic to me - but the EBU seems to think my ethnicity is controversial. It says nothing about me, but everything about them'.

Eurovision’s comments have caused accusations of double standards to resurface again online.

Here's a recap of the controversy surrounding Eurovsion 2024.
