Netherlands act Joost Klein, with the irreverent and silly Europapa, and Norway’s Gate with the folkish Ulveham, also made the final

Israel singer Eden Golan has made the final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden, following a public vote.

The 20-year-old singer, whose emotional Hurricane was reworked from a previous track called October Rain, which was thought to reference the Hamas attacks on Israel, performed at the semi-finals on Thursday evening.
