And now that the EBU have backed down over the war with the Israeli
broadcaster, David can pour all his energies into his incredibly high
voice. The proposed EBU rule of extending the voting of the semi
final on May 12th until the day of the final itself on the 15th has been
thankfully now dumped. The Israeli broadcaaster, IBA's argument is that
the new voting regime;
"damages the equality principle of the song contest's voting. Those
who will vote in the days after the semi-final will not be able to remember
the songs properly". "In addition, part of the votes will probably
be of those who would not even watch the semi-final. This kind of voting
will be motivated by promotional campaigns which Israel and other countries
do not have the ability to organize".
"I hope I will be the pride of Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest.
I haven't yet started collecting possible songs, but my intention is to
appeal to leading songwriters and to compose myself a few songs",
says D'or, who will have until the end of the year to decide.
This nation is in need of something to be proud of, especially in these
difficult times", D'Or added.
