Ari Shavit
Leading Israeli Journalist/Analyst with Carly Maisel

Ari Shavit is an Israeli journalist and author.

He is the author of the books Partition (2005), A New Israeli Republic (2021), and Saving Israel (2023)

His book, My Promise Land (2013) was an international best-seller, translated into dozens of languages, and is considered an indispensable analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

As a leading columnist and a prominent television commentator, Shavit is one of the strongest voices in the nation’s public arena. He challenges the dogmas of both Right and Left with unique insights into the role of Israel in the 21st century.

Over the last decade, Shavit has worked tirelessly to formulate a new and powerful Zionist agenda to reunite Israeli society and the Jewish people — and contribute to the rejuvenation of the Jewish-democratic state. In this role, he has worked with key decision-makers, and took part in founding civic and social movements that changed the face of the Israeli center.

Since 2017, Shavit has headed the Israeli Third Way Foundation. He lives in Kfar Shmaryahu, is married and is the father of three.
