Israel was placed into the first semi-final, to be held on 12 May 2020, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.

On 18 March 2020, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that the Eurovision Song Contest of 2020 would be cancelled due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Europe. This marks the first time in the contest's 64-year history that it has been cancelled. Following its cancellation, the EBU is discussing carryovers for the 2021 contest, such as host city and participating artists, with various parties.
