Re: Prospectus Supplement Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as U.S. counsel to BioLineRx Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”) in connection with a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), relating to the offer and sale of the following securities (collectively, the “Securities”): (a) 4,121,493 American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) representing 61,822,395 ordinary shares of the Company, par value NIS 0.10 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), (b) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 12,349,956 ADSs representing 185,249,340 Ordinary Shares of the Company (each, a “Pre-Funded Warrant” and such Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), and (c) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,235,724 ADSs representing 123,535,860 Ordinary Shares of the Company (each, an “Ordinary Warrant”, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”, and such Ordinary Shares underlying the Ordinary Warrants, the “Ordinary Warrant Shares” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”), at a combined purchase price of $0.5464 per ADS and associated Ordinary Warrant and $0.5463 per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Ordinary Warrant.

The Prospectus Supplement supplements the registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-276323) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on December 29, 2023 and which became effective on January 5, 2024.

The ADSs and the Warrants are to be sold by the Company pursuant to a securities purchase agreement by and between the Company and those certain investors signatory thereto, the form of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement (together with all schedules, exhibits and ancillary documents and agreements thereto, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus Supplement that is a part of the Registration Statement, other than as expressly stated herein.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and statements of public officials, certificates of officers or representatives of the Company, and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of all originals of such latter documents. In making our examination of the documents executed by the parties, we have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof. In addition, we have assumed that when issued and paid for pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Ordinary Shares, the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of facts material to the opinions expressed herein and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that such representation has been relied upon by us in connection with the preparation and delivery of this opinion. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others, including those set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
