After the publication of the cancellation of the Israel Prize - Ben Caspit attacks the Minister of Education: a wretched man and a liar. "He has become a worm's tail who sells his soul for nothing," he wrote in X, and claimed that the minister's decision was influenced by external factors.

"The committee did not give up. Waldman was elected. With all due respect to Lebenberg (who is not aware of all this dancing around her, of course), this is about entrepreneurship and not science," he said. "According to a few testimonies, the awards were not the initiative of the 'Minister of Education', but came through external intervention," he added.
