Veteran journalist Elishea Ben-Kimoun has been appointed the military correspondent for Israel’s “Yedioth Ahronoth” newspaper and its online platform, ynet. For over a decade, Ben-Kimoun served as the settlement affairs correspondent for the same news organization. This promotion marks a significant step in his career and is being viewed as recognition of his journalistic work. Ben-Kimoun is known for his coverage relating to religious Zionism, often wearing a knitted kippah, hence the descriptor "knitted-kippah journalist." The appointment is notable and considered a source of pride within the religious Zionist community. He will now cover Israel’s military and defense matters, bringing his unique perspective to this crucial beat. This change reflects a diversifying landscape within Israeli media.
