Gil Sheffer is an Israeli statesman and a diplomat. He is the Honorary Japanese Consul in Israel[1] and a former Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the adviser who served the longest in this role.[2]
Family ancestry
[edit]Gil Baruch Sheffer was born in Tiberias,Israel. He is the seventh generation of a Karlin Hassidim family who immigrated to Israel during the Hassidim Exodus in 1777 to take roots in Tiberias, Safed and Hebron. His mother, Chava, is the daughter of Rabbi Yisroel Ber Odesser.
Career
[edit]Following his army service as an Intelligence Officer, Gil started working as an official spokesperson for the Rashut Hashniya and The Mafdal party. In 1998 he was appointed Chief of Ceremonies and Public Relations in the Jerusalem Municipality[3]. He left the position after 10 years to become Head of Travel, Events and Ceremonies in the Prime Minister's Office[4] where he worked closely with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Subsequently, two years later, Sheffer assumed the position of chief of staff in the prime minster's office. This period of Sheffer's career shed light on the demanding nature of high-level political positions and the complexities involved in managing such roles amidst scrutiny while observing religious traditions[5]. Sheffer resigned on March 2014 after he held the position for a significant period, making him one of the long-serving advisors in that capacity[6].
On June 2015 he was appointed the Honorary Japanese Consul in Israel[7].
