Pencil erasure residue on fep. Wolf Isaac Blitzer (born March 22, 1948) is an American journalist, television news anchor and author who has been a CNN reporter since 1990. He is the host of Wolf and The Situation Room. Blitzer also serves as the network's lead political anchor. Blitzer began his career in journalism in the early 1970s, in the Tel Aviv bureau of the Reuters news agency. In 1973, he caught the eye of Jerusalem Post editor Ari Rath, who hired Blitzer as a Washington correspondent for the English language Israeli newspaper. Blitzer remained with the Jerusalem Post until 1990, covering both American politics and developments in the Middle East. Fluent in Hebrew, Blitzer also published articles in several Hebrew-language newspapers. In the mid-1970s, Blitzer also worked for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as the editor of their monthly publication, the Near East Report. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is a cohesive volume, offering a rare survey of US--Israeli relations. Blitzer, an American-Jewish reporter for The Jerusalem Post, has a unique perspective, thanks to his link with both countries, from which to analyze the status of these relations. (Anwar Sadat even went so far as to acknowledge Blitzer as the main inspiration for his idea of an initial rapprochement with Israel.) This is a valuable survey for anyone else interested in the twists and turns of Mideast policy. But its uniqueness rests on its uniform theme of actual relations between Israel and all the various segments that make up America. Blitzer covers the Washington position, the panoply of Israeli characters in Washington, the relationship between the CIA and the Mossad, congressional-Israeli relations, and the America's media, think tanks, American Jews, et al. He concludes that Israel will always have to be alert to maintain its edge with the US, even as America will always have a strong bond with Israel. Artikel-Nr. 19562
