Israeli public broadcaster Kan revealed on Monday that the country’s Eurovision song entry will be “New Day Will Rise”, a ballad written by the same songwriter behind last year’s winning entry “Hurricane.”
The new song, which will be performed by Eurovision entrant Yuval Raphael at the competition in Switzerland in May, is due for official release by Kan on 9 March. It reportedly contains lyrics in English, French and Hebrew and features verses from the Song of Songs, a biblical poem.
“New Day Will Rise” was written by Keren Peles, the writer of Israel’s Eurovision song choice in 2024, which was performed by Eden Golan and took fifth place in the competition, with musical arrangement and production by Tomer Biran.
