The Briton who helped 6,000 Jews move to Israel Submitted by Melissa Muller on Tue, 08/04/2026 - 14:30 Dov Newmark built his career making immigration to Israel easy for British Jews. Now his ties to organisations promoting settler communities in the occupied West Bank are under scrutiny Yaakov Hagoel (R), chairman of the World Zionist Organisation, receives Jewish migrants making Aliyah…
Dov Newmark, a British-born migration consultant, assisted more than six thousand Jewish immigrants to settle in Israel over the past fifteen years. During his tenure with Nefesh B'Nefesh (NBN), an organization that promotes migration to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights, Newmark played a pivotal role.
Despite the organization's efforts to publicize the settlements, the settlements lie within territories not recognized as part of Israel by the international community. Newmark's LinkedIn profile states that he held the position of Director of UK Aliyah at NBN from 2009 until 2023. He expressed his gratitude for the fifteen years he spent with NBN in an interview with British-Israeli podcaster David Goodwin in May 2024, praising the organization for making Jewish migration to Israel significantly easier.
The organization promotes settlements like Tekoa, Katzrin, Elkana, Mateh Binyamin, and Mitzpeh Yericho, often highlighting their scenic views and welcoming atmospheres, while omitting the fact that these settlements are located in illegally occupied territories.
