On Wednesday, a contentious "Israel Award" winner vowed to donate the prize money to a number of non-profit organizations opposed to the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Oded Goldreich, a computer science professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science who has advocated for a boycott of an Israeli institution in the West Bank, has announced that he will donate the NIS 75,000 ($23,283) award to organizations that oppose "Israel's" occupation of the West Bank.

Goldreich stated that he "will continue to do everything in my power to end the occupation, and I will fight for real equality for all the people of the land, and for social justice."

"Therefore, I intend to split the sum of the grant between five organizations that are working with determination for these exact goals."

A group of people recommended Goldreich for the "Israel" Prize, in mathematics and computer science last year.

However, immediately after his nomination was revealed, zionist parties demanded his removal, saying he backed a Palestinian-led boycott of the occupation.

Goldreich had signed a petition asking for a boycott of Ariel University in the occupied West Bank, in an attempt to persuade the German Parliament to reverse a vote labeling the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement anti-Semitic.

In response to his pro-Palestinian stance, Yoav Galant, the former education minister, stripped Goldreich of the prize, showing just how dissenting voices are treated under the occupation.

"Israel's" High Court of Justice and Galant's successor Yifat Shasha-Biton upheld the decision before it was overturned last month by the supreme court.
