Israel: Is Rising Star being postponed indefinitely?

/0 Comments/in /by

Israel’s Home Front Command reportedly ordered the filming of the television program Rising Star, via which the country’s representative for Eurovision 2024 was anticipated to be picked, to be put off indefinitely.

The aforementioned event, which is connected to the most recent escalation of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine and the accompanying declaration of war last Saturday, was of course anticipated.

Rising Star was slated to start filming this week, with broadcasts beginning on November 12. However, the current circumstances prevent this.The question is whether Israel will choose its entry internally or decide to withdraw from the forthcoming competition in the event that this report has been confirmed and Rising Star does not move forward.

The Israeli representative was chosen using the Rising Star method from 2015 through 2021. This process also resulted in the selection of Netta, the 2018 Eurovision winner.

Israel was represented this year by Noa Kirel, one of the most popular performers in the country, whose song “Unicorn” came in third place in the competition.

Earlier today, the Israeli National Broadcaster KAN, decided to return to a familiar selection method for their representative in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden. The country’s next representative will be selected through the music talent show Rising Star.

Rising Star was used from 2015 until 2020, to select the artist that represented Israel at the Song Contest. In fact, the results were quite positive, since the country always managed to qualify for the final, while Netta, who was selected from the show, won Eurovision in 2018 with “Toy“.

Based on what happened in previous years, after the talent show, the public broadcaster usually organised one more night, in which, a Jury and the audience chose the song for the winning artist to represent the country at Eurovision 2024.

More informations about the talent show will be given in later time.

Israel was represented this year by Noa Kirel with the song “Unicorn“, after an internal selection was held by Israel’s Public Television. The song ended up in third place with 362 points.
