Short answer: Yes. Caroline Glick is a lifelong, outspoken supporter of Israel. She made aliyah from the United States in 1991, served as an IDF officer, has spent her career as a right-wing Israeli journalist and commentator, and currently serves as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's international affairs adviser, a role in which she has publicly defended Israel's wars against Iran and its Gaza policy. As of August 2026, she remains active in that post.
What Caroline Glick has actually said and done
1991: Glick, who was born in Houston and raised in Chicago, graduated from Columbia University and made aliyah to Israel that same year, joining the IDF in August 1991. She served as an officer, including in the Judge Advocate General division during the First Intifada and later as a coordinator of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority after the Oslo Accords, retiring as a captain at the end of 1996, according to her biographical record.
1997-1998: She first served in an Israeli government role as assistant foreign policy adviser during Netanyahu's first term as prime minister, per JNS.
February 2, 2025: Glick was appointed to return to Netanyahu's office as international affairs adviser. She announced it the same day, saying she took it as "a profound compliment" to be asked back to the office where she had worked nearly three decades earlier, as the prime minister leads Israel "through the most difficult period in the history of the Jewish state," as reported by JNS.
March 20, 2026: Writing in the Times of Israel as Netanyahu's international affairs adviser through both Iran wars, Glick laid out the rationale for renewed Israeli military action against Iran, arguing that Israel and the United States remained aligned on the campaign's goals, in a piece for the Times of Israel.
April 2026: Haaretz reported that Glick, in her capacity as Netanyahu's adviser, was tasked with leading a push for the "voluntary emigration" (relocation) of Gazans, a hardline policy position tied to her role advancing the government's Gaza strategy, according to Haaretz.
May 27, 2026: Netanyahu began pushing to appoint Glick as Israel's next consul general in New York, a diplomatic post whose duties include leading Israel's engagement with American Jewry; she would have replaced Ofir Akunis, per Haaretz.
June 20, 2026: Netanyahu backtracked on the Glick nomination for New York consul general after objections, including from the Reform movement, which welcomed the withdrawal. The appointment was never confirmed by Israel's cabinet, according to Haaretz.
Who is Caroline Glick, and why does her record matter
Caroline Glick (born 1969 in Houston, raised in Chicago) is a US-born Israeli journalist, commentator, and government adviser with a decades-long public record of active support for Israel. She graduated from Columbia University in 1991 and made aliyah that same year, immediately joining the IDF, where she served as an officer for more than five years before retiring as a captain in 1996.
Her journalism career has been built almost entirely around Israeli and Zionist commentary: she was chief diplomatic correspondent for Makor Rishon, deputy managing editor and senior columnist at the Jerusalem Post, and since 2019 a senior columnist at Israel Hayom, with contributions to the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and other outlets. She founded the right-wing satire outlet Latma and briefly ran for Knesset with Naftali Bennett's New Right party in 2019.
Glick's government role gives her direct, current standing on Israel policy. She first advised Netanyahu on foreign policy in 1997-1998 and returned in February 2025 as his international affairs adviser, a post she has held through Israel's renewed conflict with Iran and its ongoing Gaza policy debates. Reporting describes her as a hardline, right-wing voice within the government, including on the sensitive question of Gaza resettlement policy, and Netanyahu's spring 2026 push (later withdrawn) to name her consul general in New York underscores her prominence as a pro-Israel advocate to American Jewish audiences specifically. She resides in Efrat, a West Bank settlement, and identifies as Jewish.
The bottom line
Caroline Glick's public record leaves no ambiguity. From her 1991 aliyah and IDF service through decades of Zionist, right-wing Israeli journalism to her current post as Prime Minister Netanyahu's international affairs adviser, she has consistently and actively supported Israel, both personally and professionally, and continues to do so as of mid-2026.
