Derekh Hamelekh (Hebrew script: דרך המלך, English translation: "The King's Road") was the Israeli entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989, performed in Hebrew by Gili & Galit.
The song deals with the singers' joy on travelling down "The King's Road" - a Biblical reference. They sing that this is the only road they will ever travel in their lives.
The song was performed second on the night (following Italy's Anna Oxa & Fausto Leali with Avrei voluto and preceding Ireland's Kiev Connolly & The Missing Passengers with The Real Me). At the close of voting, it had received 50 points, placing 12th in a field of 22.
It was succeeded as Israeli representative at the 1990 Contest by Rita with Shara Barkhovot.
