X Explains Suspension of Israeli Eurovision Contestant’s Account

The social network X has clarified the recent suspension of the account belonging to Yuval Raphael, Israel’s representative at Eurovision 2024. The move stirred significant online reactions, as many assumed it was a mistake.

However, according to X’s security team, the suspended profile was a fake account not operated by Yuval herself. The platform confirmed that the account had been created and maintained by an impersonator.

X emphasized that the action was taken in line with its safety policies to prevent misinformation and platform abuse.
