Its best results were achieved by Elevator Boys in Q3-2024, who finished in first place. During the entire period of participation, the country was included in the top-5 strongest finals 4 times. Israel is one of the few countries that has qualified for all finals of the competition during its participation. It is a fact that, over the course of a large number of seasons of participation, Israel has only reached the semi-final stage once (season Q1-2024), as most often the country has received automatic qualification to the final by fulfilling a condition (being in the top five of the previous season or being selected by the best result in the competition ranking).
The country is mainly represented by English-language entries, although Israel is occasionally represented by Hebrew entries. There was one entry each in Arabic and French.
Nation selection
Israel has been organizing its national selection ("Next Star WorldVision") for the contest since its third season of participation. So far, there have been 4 selection seasons.
