Portrait of Fleur Hassan-Nahoum

About

Hi, I’m Fleur Hassan-Nahoum.

I build cross-border partnerships, speak plain truths on global airwaves, and turn economic vision into statecraft.

From common-law practice as a London barrister to municipal leadership as Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem and Special Envoy for Trade and Innovation, I have championed the same principle: a sovereign, forward-looking Israel built on strength, enterprise, and unapologetic advocacy.

Through international broadcasts, regional trade councils, and direct engagement with world leaders, I take the argument for economic integration and truth out of closed doors and into the open: plainly stated, firmly held, and built to deliver results.

Journey

From Gibraltar to Jerusalem to the World.

From Gibraltar schoolyards to Jerusalem City Hall to global airwaves, my story in my own words.

1973 to 1991

A Legacy of Public Service

I was born in London and raised in Gibraltar as the daughter of Sir Joshua Hassan, immersing me early in a multicultural Sephardic-British community defined by civic duty.
