Israel’s Eurovision contestant, Eden Golan, is gearing up to showcase her talent and spread a message of unity through music at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden. The 20-year-old singer is set to perform her song “Hurricane,” which was originally titled “October Rain.”

In an interview with Reuters, Golan expressed her desire to use her voice and music as a means to connect with people and leave a lasting impact on their souls. Despite the ongoing protests in various countries against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, Golan remains focused on delivering a powerful performance and spreading positivity through her music.

Israel made adjustments to Golan’s song after the European Broadcasting Union raised concerns about references to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants. Despite the controversy surrounding Israel’s participation in the contest, Golan remains determined to represent her country and make her mark on the international stage.

The Eurovision Song Contest holds significant importance for Israel, having won the competition four times in the past. Bookmakers have ranked Golan’s entry in the top 10, adding to the anticipation surrounding her performance.

As the final approaches on Saturday, Golan remains honored to represent her country and hopes to use her platform to bring people together through the power of music. Despite the challenges and potential protests, Golan is focused on delivering a memorable performance and spreading good vibes to the audience.
