Israel is set to be represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with the song "Michelle", written by Nadav Aharoni, Noam Bettan, Tzlil Klifi, and Yuval Raphael, and performed by Bettan himself. The Israeli participating broadcaster, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC/Kan), selected Bettan as its representative through the show HaKokhav HaBa L'Eirovizion, in collaboration with commercial broadcaster Keshet and Tedy Productions, while the song "Michelle" was chosen internally. As with the previous two editions, Israel's participation is the subject of controversy due to the Gaza war.
