Netta Barzilai, the Israeli winner of Eurovision 2018, has signed a global distribution deal for her winning song, “Toy.”

The deal was signed with S-Curve/BMG.

“Toy” is officially the most viewed song of all time on the Eurovision YouTube channel, according to an announcement made by Eurovision on Monday, racking up 61 million views in just two months.

Barzilai’s performance at the Eurovision grand finale on May 12 has been viewed more than 26 million times, making it the 10th most-watched video on the channel.

The 25-year-old is slated to perform in August at the Shaka Hip Hop Festival in Rishon LeZion, where she will join American rap stars Tyga and Fat Joe, among other performers.

“The Jews have moved their entire lives, and they finally have a homeland,” Pastor Aaron Taylor told JNS. “Let them be. There’s one Jewish country.”
An initial review suggested that the explosion was “likely caused by an unexploded cluster munition belonging to Hezbollah that had remained in the area,” per the Israel Defense Forces.
“Captivity was too hard to handle, and every moment you didn’t know if it was going to get even worse,” she said.
Friends of Zion founder Mike Evans says the summit aimed to counter antisemitism and the “big lie” that the Jewish people are alone.
