response to the Staff’s comments, the Company filed the post-effective amendment in accordance with its undertaking to file
a post-effective amendment to include financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F throughout a continuous offering.
The explanatory note in Amendment No. 2 has been revised accordingly.
General
2.
The aggregate
market value of your common equity held by non-affiliates appears to be below the minimum public float requirements of General
Instruction I.B.1 of Form F-3. As such, it appears you are not eligible to convert your registration statement from a Form
F-1 to a Form F-3. Please withdraw your post-effective amendment or, alternatively, provide us with an analysis of why you
believe you are eligible to conduct your offering on Form F-3.
Response: In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company believes it is eligible to convert the registration statement from
a Form F-1 to a Form F-3 in reliance upon General Instruction I.B.4 of Form F-3 which permits the registration of securities issuable
upon the exercise of outstanding transferable warrants issued by the issuer. Amendment No. 2 covers the ordinary shares represented
by American Depositary Shares issuable upon exercise of previously issued registered warrants that were issued as part of a public
offering.
Please contact me at 212-547-5541
if you have any questions or require any additional information in connection with this letter.

If you do not believe our comment s apply to your facts and circu mstances , please tell us why in your response. After revie wing the infor mation you provide in response to these comments, we may have additio nal co mments. General 1. Since you appear to qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, please disclose that you are an emerging growth company. In addition, describe how and when a company may lose emerging growth company status . Forward Looking Statements, page 7 2. You reference “[o]ther u nknown or unpredictable factors” that could harm your future results in this section. Please remove this reference, as it is not appropriate to warn investors about risks that are not known to you. Pnina Fishman Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. June 6 , 2013 Page 2 Explanatory Note, page 7 3. We note your statements in this s ection that you “do not make any representation as to the accuracy of information” in the registration statement that is based on third -party data. We also note your statement that you “cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any such information ” contained in the disclosure. It is not appropriate to imply that you are not responsible for statements included in your registration statement. Please delete these sentences or clarify that you are responsible for the statements included in your regis tration statement. Item 3. Key Information Selected Financial Data, page 10 4. We note your disclosure of exchange rate information for the periods ending with the previous five years. Please also disclose the high and low exchange rates for each month during the previous six months as required by Item 3.A(3)(b). Capitalization and Indebtedness, page 10 5. Please revise the information included in the capitalization and indebtedness table on this page to update the information as of a date no earlier than 60 days prior to the date of submission of your registration statement pursuant to Item 3.B. Risk Factors “Clinical trials are very expensive…,” page 15 6. Please expand this risk factor to disclose instances in which you have actually experienced the risk involved. For example, you should consider disclosing the fact that Phase II trials for CF101 for treatment of RA have twice failed to meet the specified primary clinical endpoints and that you will have to conduct those trials again. “Developments by competitors may render our products or technologies obsolete…,” page 17 7. Please provide a brief summary of competitors and competing products that have commercialized or are seeking to commercialize products that address the same indications as your prima ry product candidates. 8. We note the similarity between the risks discussed in this risk factor and those discussed in the risk factor under the heading “[w]e face significant completion and continuous technological change” on page 23. In light of these si milarities, please consider consolidating your discussion of these risks into a single risk factor. Pnina Fishman Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. June 6 , 2013 Page 3 “We may suffer losses from product liability claims if our product candidates cause harm to patients…, ” page 18 9. Please revise your risk factor to discuss the extent to which patients in clinical trials have experienced adverse events and identify any such events. Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property, page 20 10. It appears that you have material patents for primary product candidates, CF101 and CF102, that will expire in the U.S. and in Europe in 2014 and 2015. If true, please consider adding a risk factor stating this fact and explain the ways in which this loss of patent protection over the next two years could negatively affect your operations. 11. We note your statements that “[w]e believe that our drugs have certain unique characteristics and advantages over drugs currently available on the market and under development to treat these indications.” Please revise your disclosure to describe the uniqu e characteristics and advantages of your products as compared to specified drugs currently on the market. In addition, please highlight that other drugs on the market and new drugs under development may be better established and accepted among patients an d physicians in their respective markets, are orally bioavailable, can be efficiently produced and marketed, and are relatively safe. 12. We note your stated belief that your product candidates “exhibit a relatively high probability of therapeutic and commer cial success for the treatment of autoimmune - inflammatory, oncological and ophthalmic diseases.” Please consider deleting this statement in light of the considerable uncertainty of the regulatory approval process, the relatively early development stage of your product candidates and your limited experience in bringing a product candidate to commercialization. “International patent protection is particularly uncertain …,” page 22 13. Identify those foreign countries in which you expect to do business that do not protect a company’s intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States. “Our ADSs have a limited prior trading history…,” page 27 14. In this risk factor, as well as elsewhere in the registration statement (for example, at pages 31 and 104), you state that your ADSs currently trade in the United States on the OTCBB. However, since 1999, as a condition of eligibility to trade on the OTCBB, a company, including a foreign company with ADRs, must have Exchange Act reporting obligati ons and be current in its Exchange Act reporting. See OTCBB Rule 6530. Accordingly, either revise the registration statement to state that your AD Ss currently trade on the OTC ( as opposed to the OTCBB) or else explain how you are currently able Pnina Fishman Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. June 6 , 2013 Page 4 to trade your ADSs on the OTCBB although you are not yet an Exchange Act reporting company. “As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices…,” page 28 15. Supplementally advise, with a view to disclosure, whether you intend to follow Israeli law regarding the composition of a listed company’s board of directors, which, unlike NYSE MKT rules, does not requi re that a majority of a listed company’s board of directors be independent. “We conduct our operati ons in Israel…,” page 29 16. Disclose whether, during peacetime in addition to during hostilities, Israeli citizens, including your employees, have military service obligations that could interfere with normal business operations. ADR Holder Risk Factor 17. Add a risk factor that discusses the risks resulting from the fact that an ADR holder’s voting and distribution rights, if any, are governed by the deposit agreement and, thus, differ from the rights of an issuer’s ordinary shareholders. Item 4. I nformation on the Company Our Strategy, page 34 18. We note that you plan to “focus most prominently on advancing our product candidates that are in the most advanced stages.” Please elaborate by disclosing the specific clinical products and corresponding in dications upon which you plan to primarily focus going forward. Our Product Pipeline, page 35 19. We note disclosure indicating that certain research was conducted pursuant to investigational new drug applications on pages 47 and 50 for CF101 and CF102, respectively. Please expand your disclosure throughout this section to indicate whether you or a third party has filed INDs for the following: CF101 for treatment of psoriasis CF101 for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis CF101 for treatment of osteoarthritis CF101 for treatment of dry eye syndrome CF101 for treatment of glaucoma CF101 for treatment of uveitis CF102 for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma Pnina Fishman Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. June 6 , 2013 Page 5 CF602 for treatment of sexual dysfunction If INDs for these products and for the corresponding treatmen ts indicated have been filed, please additionally disclose the identity of the filers and the dates the applications were filed. Alternately, where no IND has been filed, please explain why. Clinical Trials of CF101, page 39 Rheumatoid Arthritis page 42 20.

Clinical Trials of CF102, page 49 Phase I/II Clinical Study, page 50 21. Please revise your disclosure to indicate whether any adverse events were experienced by patients in either of the Phase I/II studies of CF102. In-Licensing Agreements NIH Agreement, page 52 22. We note your disclosure of several payments you are entitled t o under the NIH agreement, including “individual payments ranging from $25,000 to $500,000” subject to milestone achievement. Please disclose the total aggregate potential milestone payments you are entitled to receive under this agreement. 23. You disclos e that the NIH agreement will remain in effect “until the last patent licensed” under that agreement expires. Please disclose the date on which the last -to-expire patent expires in this section. Patents, page 56 24. Please clarify whether the patents you reference on this page, expiring in 2015 and 2014, are composition -of-matter patents covering CF101 and CF102 and whether they expire on those dates in both Europe and the United States. If so, please disclose what response, if any, you have planned to mi tigate the loss of composition -of-matter patent protection for your two primary pipeline candidates. Government Regulation and Funding, page 66 25. We note your discussion of FDA regulations in the United States on page 66. Please expand the discussion t o specifically address the following U.S. regulatory issues: Pnina Fishman Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. June 6 , 2013 Page 6 whether you will seek new drug applications (NDAs) for your product candidates, the purpose behind the NDA, and the regulatory process involved; the fact that CF102 was granted orphan drug status and the meaning of and regulatory ramifications of such status. Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects Overview, page 74 26. As your registration statement does not seek to register a public off ering of securities, please eliminate the reference to “the net proceeds of this offering” in the next -to-last paragraph on this page. General and administrative expenses , page 83 27. Please revise your disclosure to include the amount for each factor that contribute d to the increase in general and administrative expenses for both December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. Please clarify in the disclosure if these increases are indicative of a trend that you expect to continue in future periods. Financial income, net, page 84 28. Please revise your disclosure to clarify the reason for the decrease in the financial net income resulting from the change in fair value of financial liabilities. Please clarify if the change in fair value from December 31, 2011 to 2012 was a result of th e change in fair value of the warrants and if so what caused this decrease. For your explanation of December 31, 2011 compared to 2010 please change the heading of Financial expense, net to Financial income, net. Please explain the reason for the decreas e in fair value of options. Please tell us why the change in fair value of options is not listed as one of the factors for changes in financial expense and income on page 77. F. Contractual Obligations, page 86 29. Please revise your table to include any potential future milestone payments. Compensation, page 89 30.

Certain Israeli Tax Considerations, page 114 36. An investor is entitled to rely on the information disclosed in the registration statement. Accordingly, delete your disclaimer that the ensuing Israeli tax discussion “should not be construed as le gal or professional tax advice” as it implies that an investor may not so rely on the information disclosed.

Confidential Draft Registration Statement on Form 20-F Submitted on April 15, 2013 CIK No. 0001536196 Dear Mr. Farbstein : Our preliminary review of your confidential draft registration state ment indicates that it fails in material respects to comply with the requirements of the form. We will not perform a detailed examination of the draft registration statement and we will not issue comments because to do so would delay the review of other disclosure documents that do not appear to contain comparable deficiencies. Specifically, we note the following deficiency: Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Page F -1 1. We note that your independent registered accountant’s report does not include an opinion on whet her the financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. We also note that your footnote disclosure on page F -12 states that the financial statements complied with IFRS rather than IFRS as issued by the IASB. Please amend your filing to either provide an audit report that includes an opinion on whether the financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB and disclosure in your footnotes that you have complied with IFRS as issued by the IASB or a reconciliation from IFRS to US GAAP. Refer to Item 17(c) of Form 20 -F. If you were to publicly file and request acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement in its present form, we would likely recommend that the Commission deny your request.
