Israel participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with "Hurricane" performed by Eden Golan. The Israeli broadcaster Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC/Kan) selected its representative through the show HaKokhav HaBa (Rising Star), in collaboration with commercial broadcaster Keshet and Tedy Productions, while the song was internally selected. The Israel–Hamas war impacted the production of the show and brought Israel's participation in the contest into question.^[1]

Israel was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2024. Performing during the show in position 14, "Hurricane" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 11 May. It was later revealed that Israel placed first out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 194 points. In the final, Israel performed in position 6 and placed fifth out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 375 points.
