Ze'ev Schiff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ze'ev Schiff (In Hebrew: זאב שיף) (Born in France, 1932) is a journalist and military commentator who works for the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz. He has written numerous books, including Israel's Lebanon War and Intifada, both with Ehud Ya'ari, and A History of the Israeli Army: 1874 to the Present. Paul Reynolds, a World Affairs correspondent, calls him "the most respected military analyst in Israel". [1] His books were published in Israel, the US and France, and translated to several languages, including Arabic and Russian.
Mr. Schiff also has served as a military correspondent in Vietnam, the former USSR, Cyprus and Ethiopia, as well as having been invited by several countries to visit their armies. Mr. Schiff has won several journalism prizes, including the Sokolov Journalism Prize (in 1975), Amos Lev Prize (for military articles) and Sarah Reichenstein Prize (for interviews).
On July 29, 2006 when speaking about why Israel had not yet begun a full ground offensive in Lebanon, Ze'ev wrote that "the argument voiced is that the divisions are not adequately trained because of the cuts to the defense budget and it is not acceptable in view of the situation Israel is in. This is not the right time to blame the Finance Ministry, and it is not the only one to blame."[2]
