Anshel Pfeffer

Anshel Pfeffer (Hebrew: אנשיל פפר, born 22 June 1973) is a British-born Israeli journalist. He is a senior correspondent and columnist for Haaretz, covering military, Jewish and international affairs, and Israel correspondent for The Economist.[1][2]

Personal life

Pfeffer was born to a Jewish family in Manchester in the United Kingdom.[3][4] He was one of six children born to David and Miriam Pfeffer. His family immigrated to Israel in 1981. He did his national service in the Israel Defense Forces in the Golani Brigade.

Career

Pfeffer has been a working journalist since 1997.[3] He's written for a variety of publications including The Guardian, The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Times.[5]

His Haaretz column, "Jerusalem & Babylon",[6] was a series of articles which covered issues relating to Israel and to Jewish identity, for which he received the B'nai B'rith award for "Recognizing Excellence in Diaspora Reportage"[4][7][8]

Pfeffer's British passport has enabled Haaretz to send him to cover stories such as the 2011 Egyptian Revolution in countries that are reluctant to permit entry to Israelis.[3]
