Earlier, Israeli Broadcasting Corporation Kan filed an official complaint with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Sveriges Television AB (SVT) in Sweden following incidents at the final dress rehearsal. The complaint addresses booing while Golan rehearsed her song and an incident involving Swedish singer Erik Saade, who held a keffiyeh during the first semi-final, contrary to EBU regulations.
