Was Israel in the eurovision?
Israel first participated in the 1973 Eurovision song contest held in Luxembourg. Israel is geographically situated in Asia. Israel is eligible to enter the Eurovision Song Contest because they are an active member of the European Broadcasting Union. This is a region of broadcasting that stretches as far west as Iceland and includes countries outside of Europe, including among others, Jordan, Iran, Morocco, Libya, and Israel. The Israeli Broadcast Authority (then IBS) was already a non-European member of the European Broadcasting Union (as it joined, Egypt and Syria left). In 1973 previous Eurovision participants Malta and Austria decided to withdraw from the contest, so Israel was invited to be the 17th country that year, and takes part in the song contest ever since, winning three times, hosting twice. While this creates initial confusion, it should be made clear that participation isn't based on geographic location, but on the ability to receive transmission from the European Broadcasting Union.
Does Israel belong to asia or europe?
Israel is part of the continent of ASIA, specifically in the region called "the Middle East." "Southwest Asia" is also being slowly adopted as a more politically-correct alternative for the term "Middle East." Israel is very close both to North Africa and south-eastern Europe, but is not part of Africa or Europe. This is because the internationally accepted demarcation of the border between Asia and Africa is the Suez Canal; and the demarcation between Asia and Europe runs through the Urals and the Dardanelles, making Israel an Asian country.It is important to note that for UN Security Council rotations, Israel is considered part of the "Western Europe and Others Group" as the Arab Nations blocked its entry into the Middle East Group. It also shares a lot of legal and cultural traditions with Europe.It is also worth noting that like several other Middle Eastern and Caucasus countries, Israel is allowed to participate in the (primarily European) Eurovision song contest. Additionally, Israel plays in the European Football Cup.

This means that while its geographical grouping is definitely Asia, it holds more in common culturally with the rest of europe (It is far less arabic in origin than the rest of the middle eastern countries) - and is treated as a member of europe in some minor ways (e.g. being included in Eurovision song contest).
