Netanyahu Taps Eisenberg as Liaison to US-Led Gaza Ceasefire Mechanism
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed Israeli-American venture capitalist Michael Eisenberg to represent his office in the international framework monitoring the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, according to Channel 12 News.
The monitoring group, led by the United States, is overseeing the terms of the fragile truce in Gaza. Eisenberg, a partner at Israeli investment firm Aleph, will be stationed in the US command center established for this purpose. He will work alongside Maj. Gen. Yaki Dolf, the Israeli military’s designated representative, who speaks for the IDF and the broader defense establishment in the same forum.
Channel 12 reports that while both Eisenberg and Dolf will serve in key roles, the division of responsibilities between them has not yet been clearly defined.

Eisenberg has previously been involved in humanitarian efforts related to Gaza, including a business-led initiative that helped form the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. That project, jointly supported by Israel and the US, focused on delivering food aid in the Strip, but it is reportedly being suspended under the current ceasefire terms.
While the Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on the appointment, it also did not dispute the report. Eisenberg, reached for comment, said only: “I prefer not to respond to discreet conversations, but it will always be an honor for me to answer any call-up the country asks of me.”
US Vice President JD Vance is expected to visit the American command center during his trip to Israel beginning tomorrow. According to the report, he may even travel into Gaza, though no final decision has been made.
The move comes as Israel seeks to coordinate closely with Washington on post-conflict oversight while maintaining security control and monitoring compliance from Hamas.
