Michal Zo'aretz will be the first female to present the Israeli votes on Eurovision night (Yoav Ginay,who was the presenter in recent years will be in Tallinn as the writer of the song).

IBA has also reported that, despite the political situation in Israel and the protests on many eurovision web-sites, there has been no official application from the EBU to the IBA to withdraw. On the contrary, Christin Marchal-Ortiz has offered her assistance to the delegation to insure the clean and smooth participation in Tallinn, equally to the other countries.
