Israel
Israeli Broadcaster, IBA, has been looking at alternative options for their next Eurovision Song Contest representative after the record label dispute with Harel Ska'at and Hed Arzi seems unlikely to be resolved in time. It now seems that Maya Buskila is their first choice and could be announced as the next representative for the country as early as next week.
I suppose Israel might be worth an outside bet for the next Eurovision Song Conest.
