Israel's 2023 Eurovision representative Noa Kirel had earlier said she would come prepared for any political questions from foreign media but has since banned foreign outlets from asking them.
Noa Kirel reached third place in the Grand Finale of the Eurovision Song Contest after her phenomenal performance of "Unicorn."
Sweden's Loreen won the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest with her song, “Tattoo."
Noa Kirel will sing "Unicorn" at Eurovision. Far too often for investors, the hype over investing in a “unicorn” ends up with a big letdown.
Noa Kirel said she took her role as a representative of Israel abroad seriously during this crisis, and expressed her hope that her performance provided some enjoyment for people back home.
Journalists from across Europe share their thoughts - good and bad - about Noa Kirel's Eurovision performance, and her chances of winning, ahead of Saturday's final.
There is an additional semi-final on Thursday night, followed by the finale on Saturday, where Kirel will be performing and competing.
The Israeli pop-star's connection to the United Kingdom goes deeper than the singing competition, according to a DNA testing platform.
Generic and boring, but some good ones. Here are Israel's Noa Kirel's competition for the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals in Liverpool.
