Eden Golan is the representative of Israel at Eurovision 2024

Despite the controversy, Israel will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) 2024, and this Tuesday Eden Golan was elected as the country’s representative.

The talent show HaKokhav HaBa was the format for choosing the performer, starting to be broadcasted last November. The final was this Tuesday, with four contestants: Dor Shimon, Eden Golan, Mika Moshe, and Or Cohen, who performed covers.

The top three vote-getters advanced to the Super final, where Eden Golan was the most voted by the jury and the public. The 20-year-old got 153 points, against Or Cohen’s 135, thus winning HaKokhav HaBa. The song will be chosen and revealed later.
