Gil Hoffman is a veteran Israeli-American journalist who covered politics for The Jerusalem Post for nearly a quarter century and revitalized the pro-Israel media watchdog HonestReporting as its executive director and executive editor.
Raised in Chicago, Hoffman graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism before moving to Jerusalem, where he lives with his family. He analyzes Israeli politics on i24NEWS, writes The Jerusalem Post’s “Eye on the Media” column, and teaches international communications and political psychology and strategy at Israel’s College of Management.
Named by The Algemeiner as one of the top hundred people positively influencing Jewish life alongside world and Jewish leaders, the Knesset honored him and the HonestReporting team for their contributions to Israel on the media battlefield during the October 7 War. He recently became the first speaker in history to have lectured about Israel in all fifty states.
