Mazal tov Israel! Let’s celebrate!

Netta won the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest for Israel and, to celebrate, we went back in time to enjoy some of their past entries.

Michael took the journey back for 45 years of Israeli Eurovision delights, including their four winners and some songs that didn’t do as well.

Are there any songs that you wish could have made the cut? Share them with us on social media!
