International desk:
United States President Donald Trump will be awarded the 'Israel Prize for Peace' by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The announcement was made on Monday after a meeting between the two leaders in Florida. This is the first time in 80 years that a non-Israeli citizen will be given this award, which is considered Israel's highest cultural honor.
The award is a departure from tradition, as it is usually given to Israeli citizens or residents. Indian conductor Zubin Mehta received a special version of the honor for "special contribution to the Jewish people" in 1991. Trump was pleasantly surprised by the announcement and said he appreciated it very much.
