Yuval Raphael , 24 , was performing New Day Will Rise during a preview show on Thursday afternoon .

Six people with whistles and "oversized" Palestinian flags obstructed her act in Basel , Switzerland .

Israel 's participation in Eurovision has been a source of controversy, as its military intensifies its bombardment of Gaza , and enforces blockades of food and other humanitarian supplies.

Her track Ich Komme is a sex-positive club anthem that saw with the singer rising above the audience astride a giant, fire-spouting golden microphone. Like her, it soared into Saturday 's grand final - where the song's predicted to land in the top 10 . Saturday 's show will take place in Basel 's St Jackobshalle from 20:00 BST / 21:00 Swiss time. The ceremony will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC Radio 2 , with full live commentary on the BBC News website..
