Daniel Hageri

military officer

Daniel Hageri is a senior officer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who served as the spokesperson for the IDF. He became notable for his empathetic communication during the ongoing conflict, particularly regarding sensitive issues such as the fate of hostages. Hageri's ability to articulate the IDF's actions and intentions to the public earned him both respect and criticism. His career faced challenges amid political tensions, notably from members of the Likud party, due to his perceived alignment with values of transparency and responsibility that contrasted with the government's stance. Recently, he has been in the news following his transition from his role as spokesperson, with discussions of a potential position in Washington, a traditional ending for senior military careers.
