President Isaac Herzog awards the presidential medal of honor to five individuals for their “unique contributions to the State of Israel.”
The medal is awarded to songwriter and poet Rachel Shapira; Brig. Gen. (ret.) Pinhas Buchris; Arab-Israeli educator Dr. Dalia Fadila; educator Haim Perry; and Michael Siegal, former chairman of the board of The Jewish Agency for Israel.
“When we look at the people whom we are honoring today, we can be proud that these are our role models — as a nation and as a society,” says Herzog at the ceremony.
