World Mizrachi

World Mizrachi CEO Rabbi Doron Perez is poised to become the president of the World Zionist Organization, while incumbent World Likud head Yaakov Hagoel could be part of the chairman rotation.

If the vote proceeds, it would approve Perez as WZO chairman from November until April 30, 2028, and for Hagoel to resume his chairmanship from May 1, 2028.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also mourned the loss, stating, "We never agreed on everything, but I had always admired his view that [publicly serving] is a calling."

Amid the current war and a global wave of antisemitism dressed as anti-Zionism, Rabbi Doron Perez's prophetic words written in his new book could not be more relevant.
