Miriam "Miri" Regev (born Miriam Siboni on May 26, 1965) is an Israeli politician and former Brigadier-general in Israel Defense Forces, in which she served as the IDF Spokeswoman.
She is now a member of Likud's Knesset and Minister of Culture and Sport.
On June 14, 2017, she was named acting Prime Minister to serve, although PM Netanyahu will be in the United States.
Early life
Regev was born in Kiryat Gat in 1965 to Sephardi Jewish immigrants. She went to Rogozin High School in Kiryat Gat. Felix, her father, was from Morocco, and Mercedes, her mother, was from Spain. She joined the Gadna in 1983, becoming a platoon commander and serving in the position until 1986. She received a bachelor's degree in Informal Education as well as an MBA from Ono Academic College.
Personal life
She is married to Dr. Regev, an Israeli Aerospace Industries engineer, and she has three children. Her husband is from a left-wing family and has some views that oppose her own.
Public relations career
She began serving as the IDF Spokesperson's representative in the Israeli Southern Command. In 2002, Regev was promoted to a colonel rank for the position of Deputy IDF Spokesperson. She was appointed coordinator of the national public relations efforts at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office in 2003, just in time for the Iraq War. She was promoted to brigadier general and to the position of IDF Spokesperson after a brief stint as the Chief Press and Media Censor from 2004 to 2005. She served in this capacity during Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 and the 2006 Lebanon War. She was discharged in 2007 and was replaced by Avi Benayahu.
Political career
Regev joined the Likud party in November 2008, confirming that she had been a backer of the party's website for many years. She gained her 20th position on the party's ballot list for the 2009 election, but not enough to qualify for the Knesset as Likud gained 27 seats. Regev was re-elected at the 2015 general elections, after being ranked fifth on Likud's national list. She was then named Minister of Culture and Sport in the new government by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Regev was discriminated against because of her Moroccan roots, according to Revital Madar, a Tunisian-Israeli writer for Haaretz, and her forthright demeanor is depicted as being stereotypically Mizrahi.
Regev revealed a list of conditions that would result in the withdrawal of state funding the following year in September 2015, four months in office. The list included deformation of state symbols as well as a call for boycotting Israel.
Regev declared in July 2016 that she would not attend the 2016 Summer Olympics opening ceremonies because they take place on Shabbat.
Regev often equates artistic Freedom of Expression with the ability of the government to withhold its funds, coining the phrase "Freedom of Funding" to describe her position as Minister of Culture. Regev also stated that state-funded artists or organisations must demonstrate "loyalty" to the Israeli state. She has dubbed this a "Loyalty in Culture" campaign, and she has introduced legislation requiring "support for a cultural institution that is dependent on its loyalty to Israel." Breaking the Silence "hurts Israel's image," she said, criticizing "public affairs" at a gallery that had organized a conference.
Regev presented the Maccabiah torch to a number of Maccabiah athletes at the closing ceremony of the 2017 Maccabiah Games on July 18, 2017.
She appeared at the Grand Slam Judo tournament in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in October 2018. Regev was overwhelmed as the Hatikva was played in a Muslim Arab capital during the tournament.
Regev's portfolio was given to him in May 2020 for the first half of Israel's 35th government, as well as the portfolio of foreign minister during the second half of the incoming government's term. On May 17, 2020, she was sworn in to this office for the first time. Following the establishment of the 36th government on June 2021, Merav Michaeli was recalled.
Regev declared on August 14, 2021, that she will run against Netanyahu as Likud's leader. "The time has come for a Sephardi prime minister," she said, "I believe the Likud rank and file must elect someone who represents their class, their ethnicity, and their cause." She has also stated that she would not run against Netanyahu. She also stated that if she does not become Likud's leader, she will form a new faction.
