Ep. 74 Tzipi Livni

Ex Mossad, former Israeli Foreign Minister, Minister of Justice and chief negotiator of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. An incredible journey. 

Tzipi Livni has been widely considered the most powerful woman in Israel since Golda Meir. She served in the Israeli Defence Force and, in 1980, joined Mossad - the national intelligence agency of Israel. After she resigned from that she continued her law studies, and then practiced for 10 years before entering politics in 1996. She achieved a number of milestones in Israeli government. She was the second woman in Israel’s history to become Foreign Minister (after Golda Meir who went on to become PM), she was the first female vice prime minister, justice minister, agriculture minister and housing minister. 

In 2011 she was named one of ‘150 women who shake the world’ by Newsweek. Forbes magazine ranked her on its list of ‘100 Most Powerful Women’ three years in a row from 2006-2008 and Time Magazine included her in its 2007, ‘Time 100 Most Influential People in the World’.
