Palestine
Palestine has shown interest in participating in the Eurovision Song Contest, however the country is not a member of the EBU and get therefore not allowed to participate. Palestine national broadcaster Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC), which Palestine Radio and TV Corporation (PRTC) succeeded, is the current Radio and TV broadcaster in the Palestinian territories. The broadcasting corporation is a former Associate Member, and was alleged to have held negotiations with the EBU to become a Active Member in 2007. However, Palestine is not a member of the required organisations, and thus does not comply with the criteria. In 2009 it was approved as a member of the EBU with hopes of entering the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. It however didn't manage to enter that year's Eurovision.
