Social media users noticed the absence of Eurovision elevator interviews host, Rylan Clark, in the video in which Golan appears.

The researchers call for “a comprehensive strategy focusing on environmental management and policy reforms.”
She and her entourage arrived in Malmo last week. Advised by Israeli security not to leave their hotel rooms except when absolutely necessary.
The announcement comes ahead of an expected influx of travel to Sweden for the beginning of the Eurovision Song Contest on May 7.
