At Eurovision
In 1996, for the only time in Eurovision history, an audio-only pre-qualifying round (from which hosts Norway were exempt) was held on 20 March as 29 countries wished to participate in the final but the European Broadcasting Union had set a limit of 22 (plus Norway). The countries occupying the bottom seven places after the pre-qualifier would be unable to take part in the main contest.[2] After the voting, "Shalom Olam" had received 12 points, placing 28th and bringing Israel's participation in 1996 to a premature end.[3]
