David Horovitz is the founding editor of The Times of Israel, which launched in 2012 and now has an average of some 8 million monthly users and 40 million monthly page views. The Times of Israel, which provides independent coverage of Israel, the region, and the Jewish world, also publishes in French, Arabic, and Persian and in 2019 launched its Hebrew site: Zman Yisrael.

David was previously editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post (from 2004-2011). Before that, he was editor and publisher of the award-winning newsmagazine The Jerusalem Report. 

He has written from Israel for newspapers around the world, including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Irish Times and (London) Independent, and is a frequent interviewee on CNN, the BBC, Sky, Fox News, NPR, and other TV and radio stations.

David lectures widely in Israel, the United States, and Europe on Israeli current affairs, regularly giving the introductory briefing on Israel to Congressional delegations brought to Israel under the aegis of AIPAC.

He has conducted landmark interviews with a succession of Israeli and international figures, including all of Israel’s recent prime ministers, Presidents Barack Obama (when he visited Israel as a candidate) and George Bush, as well as Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin and, to the particular delight of his children, Paul McCartney.

David is the author of 2004’s “Still Life with Bombers: Israel in the Age of Terrorism,” and 2000’s “A Little Too Close to God: The Thrills and Panic of a Life in Israel,” both published in the US by Knopf. He edited and co-wrote The Jerusalem Report’s 1996 biography of Yitzhak Rabin, “Shalom, Friend,” which was published in 12 countries and won the U.S. National Jewish Book Award for Non-Fiction. He was the recipient of 2005’s JDC award for journalism on Israel and Diaspora Affairs, and winner of the 1995 B’nai Brith World Center Award for journalism.
