Israeli singer Eden Golan has qualified for the final of the Eurovision Song Contest after a public vote.
Her victory came hours after thousands of pro-Palestinian protestors gathered in the streets of Malmö, Sweden, where the contest is being held, to show their support for Gaza.
A night before, the 20-year-old singer had been booed during dress rehearsals. There was a mixture of cheering and booing again during Thursday's semi-final.
Speaking after the show, she said she was "overwhelmed with emotions".
"It is truly such an honour to be here on stage, representing [Israel] with pride," she said
