Israel has agreed to revise the lyrics of its Eurovision song after facing criticism for evoking a Hamas attack. The decision comes after the song, titled 'Set Me Free,' sparked controversy due to its reference to a 2014 incident in which two Israeli civilians were kidnapped and killed by Hamas militants.
The original lyrics of the song included the lines 'I'm not your toy, you stupid boy' which were seen as insensitive given the context of the Hamas attack. Following the backlash, Israel's public broadcaster, Kan, announced that the lyrics would be changed to avoid any further controversy.
