“Because of the recent events,” says the American-Israeli actress, her “conscience” dictates that she is not going to inaugurate in Israel the awarding of the “Genesis” prize also called the “Jewish Nobel”.
The award-winning Foundation said it was “saddened by the decision of the actress (born in Jerusalem) who made it clear that the recent events in Israel traumatized her and that she could not consciously participate in no public event in Israel in these conditions “.
Suddenly, the Foundation cancelled on Thursday, the award ceremony, so as not to “politicize”.
It should be noted that the protests have been growing in the Gaza for several weeks now that the Israeli army has been firing on unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza.
