Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2018 2019 2020►

Israel participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the entry "Home" written by Ohad Shragai and Inbar Weitzman. The Israeli broadcaster Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC/Kan) collaborated with the commercial broadcaster Keshet and Tedy Productions, which organisied the reality singing competition HaKokhav HaBa L'Eurovizion ("The Next Star for Eurovision"). On 12 February, Kobi Marimi won the competition and therefore performed the Israeli song in the Eurovision Song Contest.

As the host country, Israel automatically qualified to compete in the final.

Background

Prior to the 2019 contest, Israel had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-one times since its first entry in 1973.[1] Israel has won the contest on four occasions: in 1978 with the song "A-Ba-Ni-Bi" performed by Izhar Cohen and the Alphabeta, in 1979 with the song "Hallelujah" performed by Milk and Honey, in 1998 with the song "Diva" performed by Dana International, and in 2018 with the song "Toy" performed by Netta Barzilai. Since the introduction of the semi-finals in 2004, Israel has failed to reach the final six times. In 2005, Shiri Maimon gave the country its tenth top five result, finishing fourth. Having failed to qualify for the final for four consecutive years (2011–14), Israel reached the final for the first time in five years, with Nadav Guedj finishing ninth in 2015, and the country has participated in the final every year, until Michael Ben David failed to qualify in 2022. Israel's fourth victory came when Netta won the 2018 contest in Lisbon, with the song "Toy".

The Israeli entry for the 2019 contest in Tel Aviv was selected through the reality singing competition HaKokhav HaBa L'Eirovizion ("The Next Star for Eurovision"), which was organised by Keshet and Tedy Productions. This was the fifth time that the Israeli entry was selected through a collaboration with Keshet and Tedy Productions.

Before Eurovision

HaKokhav HaBa L'Eurovizion

The singer who would perform the Israeli entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 was selected through the reality singing competition HaKokhav HaBa L'Eurovizion ("The Next Star for Eurovision"), the original version of the international format Rising Star produced by Tedy Productions and Keshet Media Group. HaKokhav HaBa has been used since 2015 to select the Israeli artist for Eurovision. The shows were hosted by Assi Azar and Rotem Sela and featured a judging panel composed of Asaf Amdursky, Keren Peles, Shiri Maimon (2005 Israeli Eurovision entrant), Harel Skaat (2010 Israeli Eurovision entrant) and Static & Ben-El Tavori.

The competition commenced on 24 November 2018 and concluded on 12 February 2019. All shows in the competition were broadcast on Keshet 12 as well as online via mako.co.il.

In addition, three programs were broadcast on Kan to determine the song that would represent Israel in 2019. Kan also held an additional show to select one singer to go through to the final of HaKokhav HaBa L’Eurovizion.[2]

At Eurovision

The Eurovision Song Contest 2019 will take place at the Expo Tel Aviv in Tel Aviv, Israel and consist of two semi-finals on 14 and 16 May and a final on 18 May 2019. According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final will progress to the final. As the host country, Israel automatically qualifies to compete in the final. In addition to its participation in the final, Israel will also be required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals.

Israel was drawn to compete in the second half of the final, performing 14th, receiving a total of 35 points: 35 points from the televoting and 0 points from the juries. This makes it the fourth time since 2015 that the host country ranked in the bottom five.

Voting

Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member, as well as the nation's televoting results, were released shortly after the grand final.[38]
