Israel to Break Tradition, Award Non-Jewish US President First Israel Prize Ever

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that President Donald Trump will become the first non-Israeli to receive the Israel Prize, a prestigious award honoring outstanding contributions to Israeli society. This decision breaks decades of tradition as the prize has previously only been awarded to Israelis. The honor is being bestowed upon Trump after he met with Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago. Netanyahu's announcement marks a significant shift in the country's award-giving policies.
