The former welfare minister Itzic Shmuli will be appointed a representative in Israel of the Jewish Federation of New York

Posted on Jul 28, 2021 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

The former welfare minister, who did not continue in the Labor Party, is moving to the next stage in his career. Shmuli, who was one of the leaders of the social protest and chairman of the Student Union, will be appointed a representative in Israel of the Jewish Federation of New York.
Itzik Shmuli is expected to be appointed Israel's representative of the largest and richest Jewish federation in the United States, and will replace Uri Leventer-Roberts, who served as the director general of the Israeli office of the Jewish Federation of New York (UJA) since 2013.
As part of the new role, I will have confidence in the huge contributions that come to the Federation in Israel amounting to tens of millions of dollars a year, and the strategic thinking that directs those philanthropic assignments.
According to the report, the federation has inspected several figures in Israel for a representative, and after a lengthy selection process, it will sign the former Minister of Welfare for the prestigious position. His expected salary ranges from $ 250,000 to $ 300,000. Shmuli, 41, did confirm that he was in contact with the federation for the position of director general of the Israeli ministry, but a final decision on the matter has not yet been made.
As you may recall, former party chairman Amir Peretz, who was with Shmuli in talks with the Netanyahu-Gantz government, also found a new job when Defense Minister Gantz is expected to appoint him chairman of IAI. This is one of the most prestigious appointments in the Israeli defense system, since the aerospace industry is one of the last government bodies to take the luxury of Israeli military technology out of their hands.
