ClaretinBudapest: I have no idea about this 1 million given by Israel. I can only read what is written in NPR News .

"As the COVID-19 pandemic unraveled, (Fauci) leveraged his considerable communication skills to address people gripped by fear and anxiety and worked relentlessly to inform individuals in the United States and elsewhere about the public health measures essential for containing the pandemic's spread," the awards committee said. "In addition, he has been widely praised for his courage in speaking truth to power in a highly charged political environment."

The Dan David Prize, established by the late Italian Israeli philanthropist Dan David, annually awards three prizes of $1 million honoring contributions to knowledge of the past, contributions to society in the present and advances for the future.
This year the three awards focused on health and medicine.

So we have 'the awards committee', affiliated with Tel Aviv University, it said it honored Fauci for his career in public health and "speaking truth to power" during the politicized COVID-19 crisis. and a late Italian Israeli philanthropist Dan David. It then hardly seems to be the Israeli Government awarding the prize?
He was a trusted authority for the public on preventive measures against COVID-19, even as former President Donald Trump downplayed the virus and blocked Fauci from appearing on several television programs. Trump called Fauci part of a group of "idiots" and suggested he might fire him after the presidential election, which Trump lost. Trump called Fauci ‘a Disaster’ and shruged off the virus as an infectious soar.

Then Dr. Anthony Fauci, told The New York Times his time advising President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response team was complicated by the president’s tendency to take pandemic advice from unqualified friends and his aversion to being contradicted or questioned.

I do not see the Israeli Government handing over 1 million to an American. But we can assume donations flow into Universities ,religious Institutions etc, from rich Americans, then who would be pulling the strings?? Self interest maybe? Democrat involvement? Who knows?
