"Boycott Israel"
Folkvord burst out wearing a shirt with the inscription "Boycott Israel".
After the protest, she said: "I feel good. It was teamwork and I was given the task of being the one who sees it. We wanted to reach many people with an important message - to boycott Israel in connection with the Eurovision final, but Norway also needs to stop the cruel war."
There was also a demonstration outside the hall by activists from "Action for Palestine" who called to prevent Israel from participating in the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Sweden.
