ISRAEL – He is indeed one of the hottest men in Israel and one of the hunks ever participating in Eurovision. Imri Ziv, the 2017 Eurovision entrant for Israel, returned to Greece one more time.
It is no secret that Imri loves the Greek islands, especially Mykonos and Santorini (where all the real fun is). Last night Imri came to Athens in order to depart to Tel Aviv.
In conjunction with OPEN TV, speaking on camera he greeted the readers of oikotimes and expressed his happiness for feeling so safe in the country, due to the pandemic crisis.

Born in Hod HaSharon, in Israel, to a family of Ashkenazi Jewish (Romanian-Jewish, Polish-Jewish, Austrian-Jewish, and Russian-Jewish) descent. Ziv studied at Ilan Ramon High School. While doing his obligatory military service, he practised in a musical band of the Education and Youth Corps Unit of the Israel Defense Forces.
