"Derech ha'melech" - Gili & Galit

"The king's road is for me the only road, the king's harp is my song"

The Israeli final was held at the IBA studios in Jerusalem on March 30th, hosted by Moshe Beker & Shira Gera. The winning song was chosen by televoting, with members of the public being phoned at random and asked for their favourite song. These results were converted into votes for 6 regions of Israel.
