Maya bentwich
National Spokesperson
Through Limor Garfinkle’s lens, we honor leaders like Maya Bentwich—fearless, strategic, and unwavering in her mission to defend truth. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and trusted figure in Israeli public diplomacy, Maya rose to action in the wake of October 7th, trading comfort for conviction. Enlisting in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit as a reservist, she led over 100 international delegations to the heart of Israel’s southern devastation, guiding world leaders through the ruins with strength and grace. From global media stages to presidential councils, Maya’s voice carries the weight of a nation defending its values on the battlefield of public opinion. In every word she speaks, she reminds us: silence is not an option, and truth is worth the fight.
