2025 Feature Speaker

Some say he is poised to become Israel's next Prime Minister, given his remarkable international leadership. Ambassador Gilad Erdan, Israel’s 18th Permanent Representative to the United Nations and former Ambassador to the United States, has emerged as a beacon of moral courage and resilience. During his tenure, which coincided with the harrowing Hamas attack on October 7th, Ambassador Erdan exemplified unwavering conviction and strength, defending Israel at the UN—a forum often hostile to the Jewish state.

Ambassador Erdan’s tireless efforts included championing the return of Israeli hostages, exposing the falsehoods perpetuated by Israel’s adversaries, and combating the misuse of UN agencies like UNRWA and international courts against Israel. A seasoned parliamentarian and former Member of Knesset with a legacy of impactful roles, Ambassador Erdan is among the most influential figures shaping Israel’s future.

Join us on May 27, 2025, for an extraordinary evening of inspiration, leadership, and celebration of heroes at the Crystal Ball Benefit as we honour this statesman and defender of Israel.
