I am 28 years old, originally from Ein Harod (Meuhad) Kibbutz in Jezreel Valley, and studying for a master’s degree in the thesis track of the Program for National Security and Maritime Strategy at the University of Haifa, under the supervision of Prof. Shaul Chorev. I was born and raised in Ein Harod; at the age of 19, after a year in which I worked with children as part of the Kadima organization in Rehovot, I enlisted in the IDF as a combat hamer operator at the Zeelim base in the Negev. I finished my B.A. in economics in 2019 and in 2021, I began my master’s at the Program for National Security and Maritime Strategy.
