I don’t know why Israel just had to keep participating in Eurovision and pushing so hard for the win.
You know how the competition goes, right? You get huge hype along the lines of “ooh I think Finland has real chance of winning this year” and then, I dunno, Bulgaria randomly wins or something. Every time. There clearly are forces at work beyond our mortal comprehension here, and no nation-state can meddle with it.
Also with all the paid votes they spoof across the world they basically help fund the competition twice. Why would the ESC want to stop all that money?

Moroccanoil, the ESC sponsor, is despite what its name suggests an Israeli company. So the overall incentive structure there might be a tad skewed.
