Israel

Israel, a Eurovision participant since 1973, boasts four wins and three hostings. Notably, victories came in 1978, 1979, 1998, and 2018. The country, with diverse entry styles, has avoided last place but placed second to last three times. Post-2000, Israel faced mixed results, with a noteworthy comeback in 2015 and a recent third place in 2023 by Noa Kirel. Eden Alene’s B6 whistle note in 2021 marked a contest record.
