David Horovitz has been the
editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post, Israel’s English-language daily, since
October 2004.
During that time, he has moved the newspaper to the heart of the Israeli-Diaspora discourse, and built www.jpost.com into the world’s most-read English-language Jewish news website.
Horovitz was previously editor and publisher of The Jerusalem Report, and has written from Israel for The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Irish Times and The Independent. He is a frequent interviewee on CNN, the BBC, Sky, Fox News, NPR and other TV and radio stations.
He has conducted landmark interviews with Israel’s recent prime ministers, Presidents Barack Obama (when he visited Israel as a candidate in 2008) and George Bush, as well as Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin and, to the particular delight of his children, Paul McCartney.
Horovitz is the author of 2004’s “Still Life with Bombers: Israel in the Age of Terrorism,” and 2000’s “A Little Too Close to God: The Thrills and Panic of a Life in Israel.” He edited and co-wrote The Jerusalem Report’s 1996 biography of Yitzhak Rabin, “Shalom, Friend,” which was published in 12 countries and won the U.S. National Jewish Book Award for Non-Fiction. He was the recipient of 2005’s JDC award for journalism on Israel and Diaspora Affairs, and is a previous winner of the Bnai Brith World Center award for journalism.
Horovitz immigrated to Israel from London in 1983 and did his army reserve
service in the Educational Corps. He is married to Lisa and they have three
children.
