Raphael performed fourth in the line-up.
How to vote?
Viewers from everywhere except Israel can vote for Yuval Rafael through the official Eurovision application or website.
Viewers from Israel will also be able to vote for any other act through the Eurovision application or website, as well as through telephone and text.
Voting lines opened at the beginning of the final and will remain open throughout all performances and for 40 minutes following the last song.
Security guards were seen stopping a man and a woman who tried to storm the stage, according to Israeli media.
Despite fears that this year’s performance would suffer from the same level of booing and jeering that Eden Golan’s performance last year underwent, few boos were heard and the cheers outweighed them.
Following her performance, President Isaac Herzog tweeted in support of Yuval, saying, “For all of us, you’re already a champion!”
