We are members of the Israel Bar and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Israel.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the (i) Ordinary Shares underlying the Offering ADSs to be sold to the Purchasers as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement, have been duly authorized and have been, or upon delivery of the Offering ADSs and payment therefor in accordance with the Agreement, will be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (ii) Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of  the Warrants have been duly authorized, and upon payment for the Warrants in accordance with the Agreement and the issuance and delivery of such Ordinary Shares by the Company upon exercise of the Warrants against receipt of the exercise price therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s report on Form 6-K dated April 3, 2024 which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to the use of our name wherever it appears in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement.
