About The X Factor Israel
The entry that will represent Israel at the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest will be determined over a number of shows. Following the X Factor Israeli semi-final on Channel 13 a second semi-final will be broadcast later on KAN 11, where each contestant who made it to the final four will perform two original songs selected for them by the professional committee that listened to the submitted songs. Of the two songs, one song per artist will qualify for the final.
In the final,ย which will be broadcast on Reshet 13, each finalist will perform the song that qualified for the final. The winning contestant will represent Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Italy.
Israel debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1973, and were represented by Ilanit who finished in 4th place with the song โEy Shamโ. Their first victory came in 1978 with Izar Cohen and the Alphabeta. Israel won again the following year with Gali Atari & Milk and Honey. Israelโs third victory came in 1998 when Dana International performed โDivaโ in Birmingham, beating Malta to victory in a tense voting sequence. Israel struggled in the contest during the early-2010s, failing to qualify for the final from 2011-2014. However since the HaKokhav HaBa selection process was introduced in 2015 Israel has seen its fortunes turned around. In 2018 Netta won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song โToyโ, the song has gone on to be one of the most viewed Eurovision entry of all time on YouTube.
