Pop star Noa Kirel is selected as Israel’s representative to the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
In a departure from previous years, when the representative would be selected via a singing contest on TV, Kirel is chosen by a panel of experts.
As of now it is unclear where the contest will take place, as last year’s winner, Ukraine, which has the right to host the contest, is in the midst of a war with Russia.
