After the death of Israel's first president, Albert Einstein was offered the position but refused.

Tel Aviv: A small country like Israel has defeated many powerful countries of the world. It is the only Jewish country. Albert Einstein, the most influential and most famous scientist of the last century, was also Jewish.

Very few people would know that Albert Einstein was offered the post of President of Israel by the Israeli Parliament (Leafde) and the then Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. At that time, the country's first President Chaim Weizmann died. He has been the President of Israel since its independence in 1948. The presidency was offered to the great scientist Albert Einstein after his death in 1952. While he was studying at Princeton University at the time, Israel's ambassador to the US, Abba Eban, met him and tried to persuade him to become President of Israel on behalf of the government, but he politely declined the position. . He said, 'I have no experience in politics, I am not worthy of that post. I want to live in the world of science. Actually, politics is a very difficult thing, I am not suitable for it.

This great scientist's refusal to accept the offer of the presidency sparked a huge discussion across the world. Many people said that this is an important opportunity that can benefit the entire country, while other thinkers said that this great scientist understands his limitations. That is why he did not accept that post.

It is noteworthy that the atomic bomb was built on his E=mc2 principle. But this great man clearly 'refused' to support the creation of the atomic bomb.
