Benjamin Lee, former head of the IDF Spokesperson Unit’s Strategy and Messaging Department, replaces Jason Pearlman as President Isaac Herzog’s International Media Advisor.
“Jason has helped guide the Office of the President through perhaps Israel’s most challenging times with the international press,” says Herzog in a statement.
“In welcoming Benjamin, we know we have a bright and keen new addition to our team who will contribute greatly to the work of the Office of the President,” he continues.
