Ofer Nachshon (Hebrew: עופר נחשון; born April 27, 1966) is an Israeli broadcaster and radio announcer. He is best known internationally as the spokesperson of the Israeli vote in the Eurovision Song Contest between 2009 and 2017.[1]
In 2017, he caused a minor scandal when, while reading the Israeli jury points, he announced that that would be the last of the Israel Broadcasting Authority's broadcasts of Eurovision. This was incorrectly interpreted by international media outlets as Israel withdrawing from the contest.[2]
