Noam Bettan to sing Eurovision entry co-written by last year's contestant Yuval Raphael

Israel's Kan public broadcaster has chosen the song that Noam Bettan will perform at this year's Eurovision Song Contest, with the official reveal set for March 5. The selection process involved narrowing down around 200 submissions to four finalists, all recorded by Bettan, before a committee of experts picked the winner. The song, co-written by Nadav Aharoni, Tslil Klifi, and last year's contestant Yuval Raphael, features lyrics in Hebrew, French, and English, and is said to be in a different style from recent entries. Bettan, who was born in Israel to French parents and has an established music career, will represent his country at the contest in Vienna this May amid ongoing controversy and calls for Israel's exclusion. Despite protests and boycotts from several countries, Israel remains in the competition, with Bettan expected to face both opposition and strong public support, as seen in previous years.
