Netanyahu appoints Caroline Glick as gov't advisor ahead of Washington visit

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed columnist Caroline Glick to a position in his office’s public diplomacy team, a move aimed at bolstering Israel’s international messaging amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Glick joined Netanyahu on his visit to Washington on Sunday. “Life takes you in different directions, and I am going back to the office where I worked nearly three decades ago as the prime minister leads Israel through the most difficult period in the history of the Jewish state,” Glick told JNS on Wednesday.

“I take it as a profound compliment that at this critical juncture in our history, Prime Minister Netanyahu has asked me to join him as he continues his historic fight to secure the future of the Jewish state and people. ”Glick, a well-known conservative commentator and vocal advocate for Israel’s policies, previously worked in Netanyahu’s office during his first term as prime minister in the late 1990s.
