The song, “Toy,” performed by Netta, was a fan favorite in the weeks leading up to the contest in Lisbon, Portugal.The song’s lyrics emphasize themes of women’s empowerment, and include a reference to Wonder Woman, who is famously portrayed onscreen by Israeli actress Gal Gadot.It was Israel’s fourth win overall and the first since 1998, when the transvestite singer Dana International won with “Diva.” The win means that Jerusalem will likely host next year’s contest — which, to some Israelis, may be even more exciting news than the relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem on Monday.

The resolution, which was signed by leaders of Pakistan’s political parties, accuses Wilders of “inciting hatred, racial prejudice, unrest, conflict and insecurity in a world that has already seen much bloodshed, racism, extremism, intolerance and Islamophobia”, Pakistani English-language newspaper The News International reports.“Since under the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973, Islam is the state religion and it is the responsibility of the State to preserve, protect and promote Islam, therefore, it must stand up and articulate the general will of the Muslims of Pakistan against the proposed competition,” the resolution adds.
