Roni Insaz, winner of the reality show 'The Traitors,' has been chosen to light a torch. Insaz, a businessman from Savyon, disguised himself as a Muslim, served as an investigator in Iran's Revolutionary Guards and risked his life for other Jews in Iran. In addition, Minister Miri Regev also announced to Tamar Atallah that she selected him from among the public advisory committee's recommendations to light a torch on Independence Day. Tamar, from the Druze community, accumulated nearly a decade of service in the IDF's economic division and the security system. Minister Regev stated: 'Tamar contributed greatly to the important effort of rescuing our Druze brothers who were massacred in Sweida, Syria. The operations room in which he worked saved the lives of many, helped transfer food and medical equipment and evacuated for medical treatment in Israel elderly people, children and women who suffered sexual assault and severe abuse.' In addition, Prof. Dina Ben-Yehuda was also selected to light a torch. Ben-Yehuda leads the hematology division at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.
