Best Israeli movies

I'd be glad to recommend a few highly acclaimed Israeli movies. Israeli cinema is rich and

diverse, often dealing with themes of cultural identity, history, politics, and everyday life. Here are

some of the best Israeli movies,

1)"Waltz with Bashir" (2008): An animated documentary film written and directed by Ari Folman.

War. This critically acclaimed film won a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.
