Israel was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "New Day Will Rise", written by Keren Peles and performed by Yuval Raphael. The Israeli participating broadcaster, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC/Kan), selected Raphael as its representative through the show HaKokhav HaBa L'Eirovizion, in collaboration with commercial broadcaster Keshet and Tedy Productions, while the song "New Day Will Rise" was internally selected.

Israel was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 15 May 2025. Performing during the show in position 14, Israel was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 17 May. It was later revealed that Israel placed first out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 203 points. In the final, Israel performed in position 4 and placed second out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 357 points.
