Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel recently made headlines by nominating President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize during a visit to the White House. However, comments he made during a Fox News interview about his alma mater have generated significant discussion, particularly in the Cheltenham community.

Proposal for Cheltenham High School Hall of Fame

While in the U.S., Netanyahu offered to nominate conservative commentator Mark Levin for the Cheltenham High School Hall of Fame, saying, “Next time I’m here, we go down to Cheltenham High School, near Philadelphia, and I’ll nominate you for the hall of fame.” This statement followed a nostalgic discussion about their shared connection to Cheltenham High School, a public school in Cheltenham Township where Netanyahu graduated in 1967 and Levin graduated in 1974.

Netanyahu has already been inducted into the hall of fame, while Levin awaits such recognition.

Community Reaction in Cheltenham

The conversation on Fox News sparked debate within Cheltenham, a suburb known for its racial and religious diversity. The focus of the discussion was whether either Netanyahu or Levin deserves to be honored by their high school, with opinions likely divided among residents.
