The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has officially approved Israel's entry for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, as reported by The Jerusalem Post. The approval came after the EBU requested minor changes to the song, which the songwriters accepted. This process is common for all Eurovision entries, ensuring they meet the specific requirements set by the EBU before the event in May in Vienna.

Representing Israel this year will be singer-songwriter Noam Bettan, with the title of his song set to be revealed on March 5. The previous year, Israel encountered significant difficulty in finalizing its entry, as the EBU rejected Eden Golan's song "October Rain" for being too political, given its portrayal of the conflict in Gaza from Israel's perspective. The song was ultimately re-titled "Hurricane," and direct references to war were removed, highlighting the EBU's stance on political content within the entries.

The selection of Israel's Eurovision song is carried out by a professional jury, which adds a layer of scrutiny to the process. Notably, Yuval Raphael, who represented Israel the previous year, has been involved in creating the current entry, exemplifying the continuity and collaboration within the country's representation at the competition. This year’s entry aims to strike a balance between artistic expression and adherence to the guidelines set forth by the EBU.
