Lieutenant General (Ret.) Dedy Simhi represents a new era of Israeli leadership—fierce in duty, unshakable in crisis,
and driven by personal sacrifice. With over 30 years in senior military and emergency roles, including Fire & Rescue Commissioner
of Israel, Simhi has safeguarded the nation across every front.
His global perspective, operational expertise, and strategic insight uniquely position him to lead in times of turmoil.
After losing his son Guy on October 7th, 2023, while defending Kibbutz Re’im, Simhi transformed grief into purpose.
Today, he stands as a unifying force, committed to healing Israel’s divides and building a stronger, more resilient future worthy
of his son’s sacrifice.
