Giora Pordes, head of the Central Elections Committee's public diplomacy and spokesperson division, is ending his role after 27 years. Lilach Viseman, previously head of the committee's digital public diplomacy unit, will serve as acting spokesperson, according to a CEC press release.
Giora Pordes, the Central Elections Committee's public face for 27 years, is stepping down. Lilach Viseman, who led the committee's digital outreach, takes over as acting spokesperson — a role that will steer the committee's communications ahead of the next election cycle. Viseman previously served as head of the Finance Ministry's spokesperson and public diplomacy division, and before that as a journalist and political commentator. The change follows recent personnel shifts in Israel's public diplomacy apparatus, including the Histadrut's appointment of a new spokesman and the National Public Diplomacy Directorate's naming of an international spokesperson — both announced in recent weeks.
