The Eurovision is just around the corner and the excitement is rising: this morning (Sunday) the Israeli delegation led by Noa Kirel left for Liverpool, England, to represent Israel in the Eurovision.

It happened on a special El Al flight that took them directly there, ahead of the first semi-final where Kirel will appear and will be held on May 9.



"I want to tell you that I didn't think I would be this excited," the singer told reporters before boarding the plane.

"You have no idea what a huge honor it is for me, to represent our country! To represent our people with my song, and to stand on the Eurovision stage in front of the whole world. To know that the whole nation is with me, who support me, to feel the great love that I receive. It is not obvious And it's a great honor for me. It's a great honor to have the opportunity to connect so many people through my music, really a dream come true.

"And so, first of all, I want to simply say thank you! Thank you to the Creator of the world for the great blessing I received, thank you, and thank you. Thank you to my dear parents, my amazing team and Robert the agent who believed that I could do it even when I myself had doubts. In the last six months I worked very hard and I did it with great love for my beloved country. I drew strength thanks to the crazy love and support I received from everyone. So thank you very much."

Tomorrow (Monday) Kirel will hold the first rehearsal at 12:30 noon Israel time.

A little later we are expected to receive the first and only frames from the Israeli director.

On Wednesday Kirel will take the stage at 16:50 Israel time, for the second rehearsal.

Unlike the previous years, this time the European Broadcasting Union will not allow journalists to enter the second rehearsal and there will be no press conferences with the participants "in order to allow them to concentrate on their number", according to the organizers' statement.

A part of the show will also be revealed - so we know how the song will look on stage.



On Monday, May 8, we will be able to reveal our photos from the hall and what exactly will happen on stage in the first dress rehearsal.

We already know that during the voting Rita Ora will perform a string of her greatest hits, as well as her new song "Praising You".

Neta Barzilai will also participate in the grand finale to be held on Saturday, May 13.
