The Ministerial Committee on Ceremonies and Symbols approved, Sunday evening, a proposal that would allow three people to light a torch at the torchlighting ceremony on the eve of Independence Day, up from the current limit of two.
Minister of Culture and Sports Miri Regev has denied a report that the amendment was intended to allow the torch to be lit by the planners of the Beresheet/Genesis spacecraft, but it's possible that they may be among the torchbearers at this year's ceremony.
