In a direct challenge to the long-opaque influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a new public database is dismantling its image as an abstract political monolith by identifying the individuals who oversee its operations.
On December 18, 2025, the advocacy organization Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) launched The Faces of AIPAC, an online resource profiling the fifty individuals who govern the powerful Israeli lobbying group in the United States.
DAWN says the initiative addresses a significant transparency gap. Despite spending more than $126 million during the 2023-2024 election cycle and playing a central role in shaping US foreign policy, AIPAC does not publish a public directory of its leadership on its official website.
Drawing on publicly available records, including IRS Form 990 filings and lobbying disclosures, DAWN aims to demystify AIPAC’s internal structure.
The organization maintains that AIPAC “is not an abstraction,” but an entity directed by identifiable individuals with defined legal and fiduciary responsibilities.
It comes amid heightened scrutiny of US foreign policy and the role of well-financed advocacy groups, seeking to link institutional political power with the personal accountability of those who wield it. (more...)
