The government on Tuesday approved the establishment of the "Masa Diplomacy" program, a six-week course to train diaspora Jewish youth in public diplomacy and combating antisemitism, according to N12. The initiative, a joint effort of the Prime Minister's Office, the Foreign Ministry, and the Masa organization, will train 70 participants aged 21-40 at a cost of one million shekels, as The Zioneer reported earlier. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "We must speak Israel's truth clearly, resolutely, and effectively." The program is designed to strengthen Israel's hasbara (public diplomacy) efforts by leveraging diaspora youth who can advocate for Israel in their communities. The approval comes amid ongoing government efforts to bolster Jewish identity and support for Israel abroad, including a broader NIS 200 million plan for diaspora Jewish identity announced earlier this year.
