In 2005, Lebanon intended to participate in the Contest. However, Lebanese law does not allow recognition of Israel, and consequently Lebanese television did not intend to transmit the Israeli entry. The EBU informed them that such an act would breach the rules of the Contest, and Lebanon was subsequently forced to withdraw from the competition. Their withdrawal incurred a fine, since they had already confirmed their participation.
Man, this is crazy!! Having to pay some 100.000 dollars just for wanting to sing a song.
