Colonel (res.) Avichai Adraee, who served for over two decades as the IDF's Arabic-language spokesperson and became one of the most recognized Israeli figures in the Arab world, is joining Channel 12 News. According to a report by mako, Adraee will serve as an Arab affairs commentator and is expected to be integrated into the channel's various broadcasts and programs. This marks Adraee's first media role since concluding his service in the IDF Spokesperson Unit. For approximately 21 years, he led the Arabic media division until the position was transferred in recent months to Sgt. Maj. Ella Waweya, known online as "Captain Ella." Since leaving his post, Adraee continued to serve as an advisor to the IDF's Unit for Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs. Adraee began his role in 2005 and over the years became the face of the IDF to the Arab public. Through interviews, videos, and extensive social media activity, he garnered hundreds of thousands of followers in Arab countries and became a familiar figure in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. During the recent war, he was particularly prominent in issuing evacuation orders and conveying direct messages to the Arab population, a period during which he was promoted to the rank of colonel.
