Israel's Presence in Eurovision
Despite not being geographically in Europe, Israel is a regular participant in the Eurovision Song Contest. This is due to its membership in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), allowing them to compete alongside other European countries. Israel is not the only non-European participant, with countries like Australia also joining the lineup in recent years.
Israel's Success in Eurovision
Israel has competed in Eurovision 45 times and has clinched victory on four occasions. Their wins came in 1978, 1979, 1998, and most recently in 2018. Notable winners include Izhar Cohen, Milk And Honey, Dana International, and Netta Barzilai.
Israel's Eurovision Journey
Israel first joined Eurovision in 1973 and has been a consistent participant since then. They have hosted the contest in Jerusalem twice and in Tel Aviv once. Israel has only failed to qualify for the competition six times.
Israel's Entry for Eurovision 2024
In 2024, Israel will be represented by singer-songwriter Eden Alene, performing her song "Hurricane." Despite facing protests and criticism, Eden remains steadfast in her commitment to representing her country on the Eurovision stage.
Israel's participation in Eurovision has sparked debate and controversy, particularly in light of the country's political situation. However, the European Broadcasting Union has stood by its decision to include Israel in the competition.
