Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that President Donald Trump will receive the Israel Prize — the country’s highest civilian honor — marking the first time in nearly 80 years that the award will go to a non-Israeli and to a sitting U.S. president. Netanyahu said Israel chose to “break a convention” to recognize what he called Trump’s “tremendous contributions to Israel and the Jewish people.” The announcement came shortly after the two leaders met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and follows Trump being passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this year. <br />#TrumpIsraelPrize #IsraelPrize #NetanyahuTrump #IsraelHonorsTrump #IsraeliAward #TrumpNews #IsraelPolitics #BreakingNews #USIsraelRelations #HighestCivilianHonor #IsraelUpdates #NetanyahuNews #MiddleEastNews #TrumpAward #HistoricFirst #InternationalRecognition #USPolitics #GlobalNews <br />
