Israeli Eurovision 2025 delegation director Yoav Tzafir commented on Yuval Dayan's second-place Eurovision victory, stating: 'This is an absolute victory.' In an interview with Ynet studio, Tzafir noted that 'Yuval said she wanted to say 'Am Israel Chai' and I told her to go for it. She is proof that the Jewish people live on. She is an ambassador who knows how to speak and explain us.' Tzafir addressed the booing from the audience, explaining: 'It only motivates her, she's a strong woman. Something interesting happened this year - many Israeli fans came prepared. As soon as the booing started, they immediately shouted 'Wow'.'
