Under Eurovisions Genocide Contests semifinale torsdag afbrød belgisk TV kortvarigt transmissionen fra Malmø for at fordømme terrorstatens folkemord og opfordre til øjeblikkelig våbenhvile. Belgisk TV sagde:

“We condemn the human rights violations of the Israeli state. Additionally, Israel is destroying press freedom,” said the broadcast message. “Therefore, we are taking a temporary break from our broadcast. Now, ceasefire.”
