Israeli sings in Arabic

At the first Israeli press conference the main question was related to the unusual combination of languages in which the song is performed: the composition of Israeli duet will sound in English, Hebrew and – for the first time on stage at the Eurovision– in Arabic listen.

“The main message of our song is conveyed in its name – “There Must Be Another Way” listen. We all think that our region has chosen the wrong way. We are trying to say that there should be new ways for co-existence and understanding in our nation”, said Noa, one of the artists, and thanked Eurovision for the wonderful possibility to bring this message to the big audience.

The Israel delegation was represented by: Izhchak Sonnenschein (Head of Delegation), Noa (Achinoam) Nini Barak and Mira Awad (lead artists), Gil Dor (co-author), Alon Amir (Head of Press).
