IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari Honored with 2024 Security Spokesperson Award

Brigadier-General Daniel Hagari, the IDF Spokesperson, has been selected to receive the prestigious 2024 Israel Security Spokesperson Award. The announcement was made by the Association of Spokespersons and Public Relations Officers of Local Authorities in Israel (ASPROLA), a nationwide organization representing hundreds of local authorities.

Hagari has become a household name in Israel, recognized for his steady presence and professional demeanor during some of the nation's most turbulent times. ASPROLA highlighted his ability to convey the successes of the IDF with clarity and calm, even during challenging moments. The award will be presented at the Spokespersons' Conference from December 4 to 7, 2024, at the Dan Accadia Hotel in Herzliya.

Amnon Yosef, Chairman of ASPROLA and Spokesperson for Beersheba, praised Hagari’s contributions, stating, “IDF Spokesperson Hagari enters nearly every home in Israel daily, with the utmost responsibility, to convey a sense of stability and reason during this difficult and complex time.” He added that Hagari’s ability to provide clear and transparent updates has made him “the face of Israel’s perseverance.”

Following the October 7 massacre and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas War, Hagari played a crucial role in updating the public on combat developments, IDF goals, and progress in the conflict. His balanced delivery of both tragic news, such as the loss of soldiers, and hopeful updates, such as the release of hostages, has earned him widespread respect.

ASPROLA commended Hagari’s professionalism and transparency, calling him a symbol of integrity. “He ensures a sense of stability during a turbulent time,” Yosef emphasized. The association noted that Hagari’s efforts have resonated deeply with citizens across Israel, making him a fitting recipient of this prestigious honor.
