Noam Bettan is representing Israel in a song contest in Vienna. The participation of Israel in the event has been a subject of scrutiny and protests, but a ruling has been made that future votes on Israel's participation will not be held. The outcome of the contest is uncertain, with reports indicating that Noam Bettan has advanced to the grand final and bookmakers predicting a top-10 finish, although one report suggests Israel's singer ultimately placed second behind Bulgaria.
