More countries could potentially join them.
Ireland's participation in Eurovision is up in the air after the decision not to take part in next year's event.
RTE, along with public broadcasters in the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain are pulling out because Israel is being allowed take part.
It's thought other countries may follow suit.
Spain is the sole representative of the big five consisting of France, Germany, Italy and the UK to announce their intention of not participating.
Author of What's Another Year? Ireland's First Five Decades At Eurovision, Mountmellick's Mick Lynch says more of the big nations need to withdraw for there to be major issues:
