Israeli minister announces that Daily Wire cofounder Ben Shapiro has been selected for the annual torch lighting ceremony in Jerusalem marking the anniversary of Israel’s establishment.
The Israeli government has tapped American Jewish conservative political pundit and The Daily Wire cofounder Ben Shapiro to take part in an annual torch lighting ceremony marking Israeli Independence Day.
Each year, Israel marks its Independence Day with a state ceremony on Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl centered around the lighting of twelve torches, symbolizing the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
Twelve people deemed by the government to have made outstanding contributions to Israeli society are selected every year to take part in the ceremony.
