New Leadership Deal for World Zionist Organization
A fresh agreement, still pending finalization, proposes a rotation in leadership between Rabbi Doron Perez and the current World Zionist Organization (WZO) head Yaakov Hagoel. This arrangement follows the collapse of a previous deal involving key Zionist institutions.
Background of the Previous Agreement Failure
The initial deal fell apart after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s elder son, Yair, was unexpectedly nominated for a high-profile position on the WZO board. This nomination sparked controversy and alarm among various parties, especially the opposition Yesh Atid party, which then withdrew its support. The announcement disrupted the World Zionist Congress’s proceedings and caused organizational instability.
Rejected Appointment of Yair Netanyahu
Yair Netanyahu was poised to lead the WZO’s Diaspora and Information Department, a role that included an office, a car, and a salary comparable to a government minister’s.
Under the new agreement, Yair Netanyahu will no longer hold any position within the WZO.
Implications of the New Agreement
- Yaakov Hagoel is expected to return as WZO chief.
- Rabbi Doron Perez is set to alternate leadership roles with Hagoel.
- Yair Netanyahu’s proposed role will not be assigned.
The final details of this new leadership arrangement have yet to be confirmed.
Author's summary: A new leadership deal for the World Zionist Organization excludes Yair Netanyahu following controversy, likely reinstating Yaakov Hagoel and introducing rotational leadership with Rabbi Doron Perez.
