Amnon Lipkin-Shahak is raising money in the United States for Israel’s new, unnamed centrist party. Shakak’s schedule included a fund-raising dinner in New Jersey, a meeting with American Jewish Congress donors and a policy briefing to the Council on Foreign Relations. Shahak, who stepped aside from the party’s top slot so that former Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai could become the centrists’ candidate for prime minister, is scheduled to visit Montreal later this week before returning to Israel.
