If Israel wants to reach Arab main street, Edy Cohen is the go-to guy.

So when President Trump shook up the world with his astounding “we’ll own Gaza” news conference, Edy was my choice to address both the Arab world and Anglosphere.

A native Arabic speaker, born and raised in Lebanon, Edy now lives with his wife and family in Israel.

He’s also very funny.
