The annual ceremony granting the Israel Prize, the country’s most prestigious award, to eight recipients was broadcast on Thursday, Israel’s Independence Day, under the pall of a controversial decision by the education minister to block one nominee due to his political views.
President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin and High Court President Esther Hayut attended the ceremony. The event took place in Jerusalem’s International Convention Center earlier this week and was broadcast on Thursday night at the close of Independence Day.

The Israel Prize ceremony for this year was broadcast on Thursday, amid controversy over Education Minister Yoav Gallant s successful request to withhold the Israel Prize for mathematics from its planned recipient over alleged support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
The ceremony was filmed on Sunday in Jerusalem, a few days after the High Court of Justice ruled that Gallant had 30 days to justify his decision to deny Prof. Oded Goldreich the prize because he allegedly supports the BDS movement – which Goldreich denies.
The winner of the Israel Prize for cinema, Michal Bat-Adam, said upon receiving the prize that she was dismayed that there were only eight winners, because one winner is missing.
