Israel’s Yuval Raphael performs her song “New Day Will Rise” at the grand final of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland. “Thank you, Europe, Am Yisrael Chai,” she shouts after completing her song.

The singer's appearance in this year's contest has sparked pushback from protesters over Israel's inclusion in the contest.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 final takes place on Saturday, May 17. It will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer with Graham Norton hosting and commentating for UK viewers. On BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, Scott Mills and Rylan will be leading the commentary. Coverage across the BBC will start at 8pm.
