Eden Golan, 20, was congratulated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when she got through to Saturday’s grand final.
The Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden will see more pro-Palestinian protests on the day of the final after Israel qualified for the competition.
The demonstrators, who were condemning Israel taking part in Eurovision amid the conflict in Gaza, walked through the streets of Malmo from Stortorget to Molleplatsen, and among them was Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. He said: “It was a special day for me in my life and I’d say I’ve never been so proud to be part of Latvian nation and Latvian, we’re the only country in the world that is in the shape of a butterfly.
When Golan was told by the moderator that she did not have to answer the question, Klein chimed in, saying: “Why not?” During the semi-final, Golan was applauded and cheered by the audience, while dressed in a flowing sand-coloured dress.That marked a change from Golan being booed during rehearsals on Wednesday, and reportedly facing shouts of “free Palestine” in the arena.
