I've just attended the Israeli press conference, an angry and controversial affair, with the Israeli delegation complaining of discrimination, and arrogant and shoddy direction.

Their backdrop has been described as offensive(I believe they wanted war games), and been replaced with something bland, and the whole song is just filmed with one camera.

They are threatening to pull out of the contest. I would bet a pound to a pinch of salt that they will not. The Israelis have tried this on in previous contests.

A blatant publicity stunt, I am sure.
