Olly Alexander 'stands for peace' amid boycott pressure

The UK's Eurovision entry Olly Alexander has insisted he 'stands for peace' as he faces pressure to boycott the competition over Israel's inclusion, and the banning of Palestinian flags or symbols.

He adds the opportunity to partake in Eurovision doesn't come along very often, and that he'd 'worked hard' to be able to do so.
