Re:
Check-Cap Ltd.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as Israeli counsel to Check-Cap Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with its registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) covering up to 3,714,632 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.20 per share, of the Company (collectively, the “Shares”), authorized for issuance under the Check-Cap, LLC 2006 Unit Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).
 
In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have examined the originals, or photocopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Plan; (ii) the Articles of Association of the Company, as currently in effect; and (iii) such other corporate records, resolutions, minutes, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion.  We have also made inquiries of such officers and representatives as to factual matters as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion.

        In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as reproduced or certified copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  We have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be accurate.  We have also assumed the truth of all facts communicated to us by the Company and that all consents, minutes and protocols of meetings of the Company’s board of directors which have been provided to us are true and accurate and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association (as amended) and all applicable laws.  In addition, we have assumed that the Company will receive the full consideration for the Shares (which may consist, in part or in full, of services performed for the Company).
 
Members of our firm are admitted to the Bar in the State of Israel, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.  This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the grants thereunder, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
This opinion letter is rendered as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments that may be brought to our attention after the effective date of the Registration Statement that may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.
 
  Very truly yours,
