This Israeli broadcaster, IBA, held a national final to select the Israeli entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1995, held in Dublin, Ireland. The contest was held at the IBA TV Studios in Jerusalem, hosted by Aki Avni and Michaela Berko. 13 songs competed, with the winner being decided through the votes of 7 regional juries. The spokesperson for Haifa's jury, Ofer Nachshon, would later go on to present Israel's votes at Eurovision between 2009 and 2017.
