Yuval Raphael, who captivated audiences as Israel's Eurovision contestant last year, has co-written the song selected as Israel's entry for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. The track, performed by Noam Bettan and composed with Nadav Aharoni and Tzlil Klipi, was chosen from about 200 submissions through a revamped and more inclusive selection process by Israel's public broadcaster. This year's process saw anonymous submissions and a focus on preventing bias, with Bettan actively shaping the final versions of the top contenders. The song, described as stylistically distinct from previous years and featuring lyrics in Hebrew, French, and English, will be officially unveiled in March if approved by the European Broadcasting Union. The Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Vienna this May, with Israel's entry aiming to build on the country's recent strong showings.
