Israel Katz

Minister of Defense of Israel (born 1955)

Israel Katz made a career in public life at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

The record lists Israel Katz as Minister of Defense of Israel (born 1955).

Israel Katz was born at Ashkelon in 1955. His recorded nationality is Israel. He was educated at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

He worked as politician and minister.

Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.

Working from Israel shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Israel Katz is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
