The minister announced this to Yasmeen via a video call, when she was at the Magen David Adom's National Operations Center , together with MDA Director General Eli Bin and dozens of EMTs and paramedics, who were very excited about the news.

Minister Miri Regev: "I am pleased to announce my decision to choose Yasmeen Mazzawi to light a torch at Israel's 72nd Independence Day Ceremony. Yasmeen, an outstanding volunteer, represents the young generation of MDA volunteers in Not Hagalil (Nazareth), began with MDA several years ago as a youth vunteer and now a works as certified paramedic. Yasmeen represents the spirit of giving to thousands of volunteers , men and women, a variety of the Israeli people in MDA. Yasmeen expresses the dedication, professionalism and humanity of Magen David Adom, which is at the forefront of the struggle for the health of the people in Israel every day and especially these days during the war against the Coronavirus. MDA, the largest and Israel's National Emergency Medical and Blood Services Organization , is celebrating 90 years since it was established and it is only natural to salute its employees, and volunteers from every part of the population every day of the year, and now more than ever. Yasmeen is working to increase Holocaust education in her community to foster feelings of mutual responsibility among Christians, Muslims and Jews in Israel. In her blessed work as an outstanding volunteer in MDA and to teach the Holocaust to Christians and Muslims in her area, strengthens the multicultural bridge between the various communities and between people in Israel. "

MDA paramedic Yasmeen Mazzawi, was very excited and found it difficult to hold back her tears: "At home, I grew up with values that matched MDA'S values," she said, "values of love and help to others, without knowing who they are, and what religion, race and gender they come from. I started volunteering at Magen David Adom as a teenager, and four years ago, when I returned from my journey to Poland with an MDA delegation, I decided to work to increase Holocaust education. Since I was a little girl, my parents would tell me that I have the ability to cause change in the Arab society to integrate into the country. That's what I do, and I will continue to do that. "

MDA Director General Eli Bin: "These are very good and exciting news, in the complicated days for both Magen David Adom and the State of Israel in general. We are proud of Yasmeen Mazzawi, a talented and dedicated paramedic who will represent at the Torch Lighting Ceremony all of MDA 30,000 employess and volunteers. A common to all is the constant commitment to helping everyone who needs it and saving lives, regardless of religion, race or gender. I would like to thank Minister Mirev Regev for her choice, and for the recognition of the entire Magen David Adom."
