Hera Björk: “I Love Israel’s ‘Hurricane’, It’s a Very Strong Song!”

After Silia Kapsis from Cyprus, another artist from Eurovision 2024 has found the courage to express their opinion about the Israeli participation, speaking with warm words. Specifically, Hera Björk from Iceland, in a recent interview, mentions that she really likes Eden Golan’s “Hurricane,” considering it a very strong entry.

I listened to the Israeli song, and I love it! It’s a very strong song.

Speaking to the Euromix correspondent at the Pre-party in Madrid, Hera thanks all the Israeli fans of the contest who support her so much, wishing everyone to be safe.

Thank you very much, I visited Tel Aviv, and it was wonderful. I hope you are all safe and enjoy this journey because I know we all have a common denominator, and these are difficult times with war and madness continuing at this moment. So, I hope Eurovision will be a beacon of light for all of us.

It is worth noting that Hera Björk won the national final in Iceland, defeating Bashar Murad, of Palestinian descent, who was the favorite to represent Iceland in Malmö. Indeed, some claimed that her victory was also based on support from Israel, something that was not proven.

Unlike Bashar Murad, who threatened that if he won the national final, there was a possibility of boycotting the competition in case of Israel’s participation, Hera had stated that she would participate normally regardless of Israel’s presence in Malmö.
