Two girls, Netta Barzilai and Riki Ben Ari, and two boys, Jonathan Mergui and Chen Aharoni, reached this final that began with two duels that resulted in the classification for the superfinal of Jonathan and Riki. Next, the jury used its wild card in favor of Netta against favorite Chen, who was eliminated in fourth and last position. Finally, in the final vote, Jonathan took the maximum score of the televot and Netta with the best evaluation of the jury, giving the ticket to the festival in the global calculation.
Netta Barzilai will perform in Portugal a song chosen internally by the two televisions that collaborate on the project, the public IPBC, responsible for Eurovision in Israel, and the private Keshet, who produces the national final. The local composers have a period of just over two weeks to submit their proposals until this Sunday, February 19. The organization has requested topics in English, Hebrew or bilingual.
Asi Azar and Rotem Sela have been the masters of ceremonies of the grand final of the Hakokhav HaBa 2018 from G.G. in Neve Ilan from 20:00 CET. The 63rd edition of Eurovision will take place next May 8, 10 and 12 in the Parque de las Naciones in Lisbon with Israel competing from the first semifinal.
