Israel’s Eden Golan has performed at the Eurovision Song Contest final amid protests and loud shouts from the audience.

The 20-year-old singer, whose song Hurricane was reworked from a previous track called October Rain, which was thought to reference the Hamas attacks on Israel that sparked the current conflict, remained calm despite the noise.
