Sanremo 2025: Israel’s 2009 Eurovision duo to perform John Lennon’s Imagine

The organizers of this year’s Sanremo Festival seem determined to send a powerful anti-war message, inviting Israel’s 2009 Eurovision representatives to perform John Lennon’s Imagine on February 11.

We’re talking about Noa, of Israeli descent, and Mira, of Palestinian descent, who made a lasting impact 16 years ago when they represented Israel with There Must Be Another Way. Their song, rich in symbolism, addressed the conflicts in the Middle East, conveying a message that political and territorial disputes in the region should be resolved through peaceful means rather than war.

Their participation at the time sparked controversy within Israel, with many calling for their withdrawal. While the song didn’t achieve a high ranking, it remains one of the most powerful and symbolic moments in Eurovision history.
