After this year's prize ceremony being roiled in controversy, Education Minister Yoav Kisch announces the full list of winners of Israel's most prestigious prize.
Israel's top prize for social advocacy and solidarity awarded to Hebrew U expert who advocated on behalf of October 7 victims and against antisemitism.
"I chose to change the initial decision and award the Israel prizes in the various categories, alongside the prize in the Revival category," the education minister stated on Wednesday.
In a recent development in the controversy over this year's Israel Prize cancelation, the High Court issued a conditional order to Education Minister Kisch.
This year is unlike any before; the prizes should reflect that, reasoned Kisch last week. On the surface, this is a legitimate enough reasoning, but it is weak and senseless.
Waldman claimed that Fogel exerted heavy pressure on the members of the committee to recommend another candidate "from the right sector."
Eyal Waldman, an Israeli tech giant, called on the Prime Minister to resign after his daughter was murdered at the Nova music festival in Re'im on October 7.
