Local police in Basel, Switzerland, ordered two survivors of the Nova music festival who came to Eurovision events to take down their festival flag, claiming it was a 'provocation.' An Israeli flag with the hostages' symbol that was raised was also removed. Police were concerned about a potential confrontation with Palestinian protesters who were located several hundred meters away.
