The event organizers said “Madonna did not have permission to make a political statement about the Israel-Palestine conflict during her Eurovision performance.

 The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organises Eurovision, said it had not approved this part of the act because the event is “non-political”.

Earlier in the night she appeared in a pre-recorded message, warning the public to not “underestimate the power of music to bring people together”.

Madonna began her performance by singing her 1989 hit “Like a Prayer”. Then, she performed new song “Future”, collaboration with Migos rapper Quavo who appeared on stage with her.

The famous singer also ruffled feathers after viewers noticed a pair of her dancers brandishing the Palestinian and Israeli flags on their backs as they embraced each other widely seen as a political statement on the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The set also saw several background performers falling to the ground while wearing gas masks, and concluded with Madonna and Quavo holding hands as the words “wake up” flashed on a large screen behind them.

A representative for Madonna provided EW with a photo of the performance with a note that “a message of peace is not political.”

Madonna appeared for a brief interview during Eurovision’s live telecast, telling the audience “The one thing that brings me to [these] countries and the thing that brings all of these people here tonight is music, so let’s never underestimate the power of music to bring people together.” She then quoted her 2000 single “Music” by saying: “Music makes the people come together, yeah!”
