Noam Bettan has been selected to represent Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, set to take place in Vienna this May. Bettan earned the spot after winning the season finale of Hakochav Haba, Israel's national Eurovision selection show, which aired Tuesday night.
A singer-songwriter, Bettan is known for performing original material and for a musical style that blends pop with indie and electronic influences. He has built a growing following in Israel in recent years, with several singles and a full album released prior to his appearance on the show.
Born to French Jewish parents, Bettan often incorporates international elements into his music, including French lyrics, and gained particular attention during Hakochav Haba for his strong stage presence and songwriting. He will now prepare to represent Israel on the Eurovision stage later this spring.
