Amir Weitman (also spelled Weitmann) is an Israeli-Swiss dual citizen researcher, strategic analyst, licensed investment advisor, venture capitalist, author, and political activist affiliated with Israel's Likud party. Born in 1975 in Israel to a non-practicing Jewish Zionist family, he relocated to Geneva, Switzerland, at age two, where he was raised by his mother and grandparents. He attended the inaugural class at Geneva's Jewish school in 1981 and Collège Claparède, and earned a bachelor's-equivalent license from the Institut des hautes études internationales et du développement (now Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies). He returned to Israel permanently in 1998, after studying for one year at a Talmudic school. Professionally, involved in asset management since 2004, he is a former strategic consultant and visiting researcher at the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, where he is the sole author of the controversial 2023 position paper 'A Plan for the Resettlement and Final Rehabilitation in Egypt of the Entire Population of Gaza: economic aspects,' advocating coordinated transfer of Gaza's population to Egypt and outlining purported economic and geopolitical benefits. The document, circulated to Israeli officials before its removal from the institute's website, was widely condemned by human rights organizations, Palestinian advocates, and international media (including Middle East Eye and +972 Magazine) as promoting ethnic cleansing, population transfer, and incitement to genocide, with critics noting its extreme settler-aligned and inflammatory views on Gaza's population and territory. He is also the author of the 2009 French-language book L'Affaire Madoff (Plon), the first publication analyzing the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, its methods, victims, and human elements, and has written LinkedIn articles on investment trends including agrivoltaics, alternative proteins, recessions, and venture capital strategies. He co-founded and serves as Managing Partner of Champel Capital, a Jerusalem-based venture capital firm investing in Israeli technology startups since 2017 alongside longtime friend Arié Benguigui, including a $30 million second fund raised in 2022 focused on sectors like agritech and computer vision. He maintains active media commentary on defense, security, technology investments, Israeli politics, judicial reform, Haredi military service exemptions, and foreign relations, including a 2024 interview with RT stating that Russia would 'pay a high price for killing Israelis' due to its connections with Hamas and other terrorist groups. Politically, he founded the New Liberal Movement (התנועה הליברלית החדשה) and chairs the Libertarian Caucus in Israel's Likud party, advocating for free markets and individual liberties. Personally, as of 2005, he is married to Avigael with two daughters, Ayelot and Tamar, and resides in the Har Homa settlement in occupied East Jerusalem.
