Leadership

The leadership and board of directors of Betar US, the Betar Zionist Movement are lifelong supporters of Betar.

The founder of Betar was Ze’ev Jabotinsky. Two Betar members, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir have served as Israel’s Prime Ministers while Benzion Netanyahu who served as Jabotinsky’s longterm chief of staff is the father of “Israel’s” longest serving prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Many of the leaders of the State of Israel, including multiple current Cabinet members, Knesset members, diplomats and ambassadors grew up in the Betar movement and consider themselves Jabotinsky followers.
