From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amir Tibon (Hebrew: אמיר תיבון; born 11 February 1989) is an Israeli journalist and writer.[1] He works for Haaretz,[2] but has also worked for Walla! News.[3] He has also worked as a diplomatic correspondent.[4]

Biography

In the early 2000s, Amir Tibon was a resident of Tel Aviv.[4] In late 2014, Tibon and his wife (then fiancée), Miri, moved to Kibbutz Nahal Oz, following a journalistic visit in August 2014.[4][5] The couple has two daughters.[5]

On 7 October 2023, Nahal Oz was attacked by Hamas militants while Tibon and his family were at home.[5] They remained in their house's safe room for ten hours until Tibon's father, Noam Tibon, a retired general, arrived from Tel Aviv, along with an Israeli soldier he picked up along the way.[5][6] Following his rescue, Tibon stated in an article on his experience that "the Israeli state failed us".[7]

On 9 October 2023, Tibon criticized American Senator Josh Hawley for suggesting that American funding for Ukraine be redirected to Israel.[8]

Journalism and literary career

In 2015, Tibon was one of 15 journalists who signed a letter criticizing a proposed policy that would prevent Israel Broadcasting Authority journalists from expressing their opinions on-air.[9] In 2016, Tibon wrote an article critical of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Walla.[10] The Prime Minister's Office unsuccessfully pressured the site to remove Tibon's article.[10]

Tibon began working as a Washington correspondent for Haaretz in early 2017, the week of Donald Trump's inauguration.[11] He continued working as a Washington correspondent through 2020.[12][13][14]

Tibon co-authored a biography of Mahmoud Abbas, entitled The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas, which was published in 2017.[5][15][16]

Awards and recognition

In January 2015, Tibon and fellow journalist Ben Birnbaum were nominated for a National Magazine Award for their reporting in The New Republic, entitled "How Close They Came".[17]
