Eurovision 2026: Bulgaria wins as nail-biting final sees Israel finish second

Bulgaria has won the Eurovision song contest with singer Dara's party anthem "Bangaranga." The song's infectious beats and tightly choreographed dance routine were a massive hit with both viewers and national juries. Israel finished second in the contest, which saw Romania's Alexandra Căpitănescu come third with the rock song "Choke Me." The 70th Eurovision contest was marked by tight security and protests over Israel's participation, with several countries choosing to boycott the proceedings.
