Problems of holding "Eurovision" in Israel arose even before the scandal of plagiarism. But they are political in nature.
Conflict erupted around the host city the following year
Back home, Netta received a warm welcome from authorities and admirers for her work. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, congratulating the singer, said: "Neta, you have brought great glory to Israel next year in Jerusalem!"

"The government will behave according to the rules of the EBU," said Netanyahu in a statement
