## Judges and hosts

Israeli fashion model Bar Refaeli hosted the third season. Contrary to most other versions of the X Factor where the judges panels was a mixture of singers and music industry figures, the Israeli version was composed entirely of musicians. The judges panel for the first season was composed of the rock singer Rami Fortis, the pop singer-songwriter and composer Moshe Peretz, the pop and R&B singer Shiri Maimon, and the pop singer Ivri Lider. Fortis forfeited the judging role, and got replaced by the Israeli rapper Subliminal.
