Ofer Nachshon (born April 27, 1966) is a broadcaster and radio announcer in Israel. He is known internationally as the Israeli spokesperson at the Eurovision Song Contest from 2009 until 2017.[1]
Nachshon presented the results of the Israeli voting in Eurovision Song Contest for the years 2009 - 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 around the world as Israel's complete withdrawal from international contest.[2]
