The farmers recently called off the fifteen day hunger strike but are continuing with the general strike after agriculture minister Boim explained to them that the government would be able to act only after the forthcoming elections.
Bezalel, who immigrated to Israel in 1955 from Chendamangalam in Kerala, was bestowed with the highest civilian honour on non-resident Indians earlier this year.
From a humble beginning as a shepherd on his immigration, he became a renowned farmer winning the best exporter award from Prime Minister Levi Eshkol in 1964 for making the desert bloom in south Israel.
The Israeli parliament (Knesset) rewarded Bezalel with the Kaplan prize in 1994 for his unique contribution to the farming sector of the country.
