Michael Oren, born Michael Scott Bornstein on May 20, 1955, in upstate New York, has had a career marked by diverse roles in public service, academia, and literature. Raised in West Orange, New Jersey, he developed an early interest in Zionist and Jewish youth groups. He excelled in rowing, earning two gold medals and one silver medal at the 1977 Maccabiah Games. After completing his BA in International Relations in 1977 and an MA in International Affairs in 1978 from Columbia University, he served as an adviser to the Israeli delegation to the United Nations. In 1979, he immigrated to Israel, where he changed his last name to Oren, meaning ‘pine tree’ in Hebrew, and began his military service as a lone soldier in the Israel Defense Forces. He holds a PhD in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University (1986).
Oren’s career progression includes extensive work in military, academic, and diplomatic fields. He served as a paratrooper in the 1982 Lebanon War and as an Israeli liaison officer to the U.S. Sixth Fleet during the Persian Gulf War. He reached the rank of major and later became an IDF Spokesman, participating in the 2006 Lebanon War and the 2008–2009 Gaza War. Academically, he taught at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in the 1980s and 1990s, and held visiting professorships at Harvard, Yale, and Georgetown universities. In 2009, he was appointed as Israel’s Ambassador to the United States by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a role he held until 2013, during which he renounced his American citizenship to comply with Israeli law.
Following his ambassadorship, Oren continued to contribute to public discourse through his writings and political involvement. He is a New York Times best-selling author, known for works such as “Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East” (2002), which received the Los Angeles Times History Book of the Year Award. In 2015, he was elected to the Knesset for the Kulanu party and served as Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office for Public Diplomacy. Throughout his career, Oren has frequently engaged with international media, appearing on programs like the Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher shows, 60 Minutes, and The View, and served as a Middle East analyst for CBS and CNN.
