Israel was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Leha'amin" (להאמין) written by David D'Or, Ofer Meiri, and Ehud Manor, and performed by David D'Or. The Israeli participating broadcaster, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA), selected its entry through the national final Kdam Eurovision 2004, after having previously selected the performer internally. The national final took place on 5 February 2004 and featured four songs. "Leha'amin" emerged as the winning song after gaining the most points following the combination of a jury vote, an audience vote and a public televote.
Israel competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 5, "Leha'amin" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Israel placed eleventh out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 57 points.
