Eylon Levy

Eylon Aslan-Levy, also known as Eylon Levy, is a British-Israeli politician who served as official Israeli government spokesman, from the start of 2023 Israel–Hamas war to March 2024, when he was suspended.

Levy was born in London, United Kingdom. He attended University College School in London and University of Oxford, where he received his bachelor's degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics in 2013. He moved to Israel in 2014 at the age of 23 to join the Israeli military during the 2014 Gaza War. In 2016, Levy began work as the chief news anchor at IBA News, and then later presented news at i24NEWS.

In 2021, Israeli president Isaac Herzog appointed him as his international media advisor at the Office of the President of Israel. After the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, he became an official Israeli government spokesman and one of Israel's most internationally recognized faces in the war.

On March 19, 2024, Levy was suspended as spokesman "after complaints from the UK government".
