Campus Israel Launched as Alternative for Jewish Students Facing Antisemitism
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum says the new platform connects students abroad with English-language degree programs, application support, internships, and community life in Israel

Fleur Hassan-Nahoum speaks with the urgency of someone who sees several crises at once: hostile campuses, regional realignment, war with Iran, the future of Gaza, the stubborn persistence of antisemitism, and the need for stronger women’s leadership. Her answer to all of it is impacted by the same instinct—build something practical and build it now.
An Israeli politician and former deputy mayor of Jerusalem, Hassan-Nahoum is currently special envoy for trade innovation for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When asked why she is pouring her energy into a new platform called Campus Israel, she does not start with technology or tuition tables. She starts with a question: “Why aren’t more Jewish students [from abroad] studying in college in Israel in the many degrees in full English language that we have here?” she recalls wondering.
