Private

Jeremy Issacharoff is married to Laura Kam and has two sons and a daughter.

criticism

The Appeals Commission of the Israeli Foreign Ministry received criticism after the committee voted Issacharoff in front of eight other candidates, most of whom speak German.

Due to a planned meeting of the German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel with representatives of Shovrim Shtika (“Breaking the Silence”) and B'Tselem , Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a meeting with Gabriel. One of Issacharoff's two sons is the spokesman for “Schovrim Shtika”, one of the organizations that were at stake at the time.
