Israel managed to emerge as the first country in the audience rating, as can be seen from the data released by Eurovision.
Despite massive boos in Sweden’s Malmo Arena, he got the highest score from the audience (323 points) and rose from 12th to 5th place.
The mobilization of Israel for obvious reasons, due to the events in Gaza, the large campaign with paid advertising, social media, and the fact that many Israelis living outside their state were able to vote, and apparently did so en masse, may explain this development.
From the votes of the country committees, Switzerland came out on top, after the committees gave it 365 votes.

France followed with 218 votes from the committees, Croatia with 210 and Italy with 164. Ukraine completed the top five with 146 votes.
Israel did not get many votes from the rest of the countries, scoring only 52 points. However, Marina Satti’s “Zari” did not seem to excite the committees either, as it collected only 41 points.
