The agreement will see Mizrachi CEO Rabbi Doron Perez become the WZO president,  a normally ceremonial role that would reportedly expand to engage in matters of budget and Diaspora relations.

If the WZO wants to remain relevant to both Israel and the Diaspora, the time is long overdue to invest in securing a more Jewish and Zionist tomorrow that will benefit Jews whether here or there.

This past World Zionist Congress proved the need for major reforms, including the nationalization of KKL and WZO.

'World Mizrachi is deeply proud and grateful to be a significant part of the WZO’s leadership in this period where partnership, mutual trust and respect.'

The WZO said that Rabbi Doron Perez would serve as the new chairman, rotating with Yaakov Hagoel.

The same symptoms that afflict the WZC afflict other bodies in Israel and Diaspora politics: An insulated elite that is inwardly focused on personal interests.

Rowe, who has engaged in interfaith dialogues in the UK, said it was necessary to find deeper commonalities than just rejection of violence.

The 39th World Zionist Congress created a space for all who are invested in the Zionist project to be at the table without checking their values at the door.

Several sources familiar with the matter said that Yesh Atid had only harmed itself by not participating, in addition to damaging the reputation of the National Institutions.
