Talk:Isaac Herzog

About the name

Isaac or Yitzhak? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Follgramm3006 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Either/both. One is a sort of translation, the other a transliteration. --Dweller (talk) 10:07, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

According to the citation from Haaretz in the following section, Isaac is the preferred usage in anglophone contexts, hence its appropriateness as the mainspace page name here. -- Deborahjay (talk) 10:59, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Buji?

Where does this name come from? --Dweller (talk) 10:07, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Citing Haaretz of 22 Nov. 2013 (no byline):

Isaac Herzog, 53, is better known by his nickname "Bougie," which he was given by his Egyptian-born, French-speaking mother, who combined the French word for doll, "poupee," with the Hebrew equivalent, "buba," but he prefers to be called Isaac when speaking with English-speakers or foreigners, not its Hebrew version, Yitzhak.

If I find another etymology I'll provide it, unless the above can be attributed to Herzog himself (unclear from the above text). Meanwhile I'll correct the spelling on the page and add the citation. -- Deborahjay (talk) 10:57, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Change lead photo

Proposed image

I feel that seeing how the infobox image is from 2014 and an official portrait from his non-current political office, it think an image change is needed. Look and Scott Morrison or Bernie Sanders who had their outdated official portrait image ditched from their infobox for a newer photo. Herzog has a bunch of good quality photos that can be used instead during his presidency. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 09:38, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Michael Herzog

Someone with editing power should add Michael Herzog (ambassador) to this page. He's the Israeli Ambassador to the US and is President Herzog's oldest brother. Jcowen777 (talk) 20:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

This Austrian is doing work even in Israel

It is not only that Austrians (Herzog is an Austrian name) are subversing Germany in Europe, like making ?unusual allies with Japan that they are not, but Japan is a German ally, and in return Germany is made a weaker nation in alliance with the China that curse the entirety of white nations (with the coronary virus) for money that they need from Germany, this is almost all done by Austrians, who are obviously working every day against Germany's leadership but also against Germany as a nation, also providng dubious buildings of ?modern type, that overheat, but they subsidize with their Austrian money these overheating buildings as long as they are somehow Russian and anti-German, not to stop with this Austrians are constantly threatening politicians of any kind, I am not saying that all Austrians are like this, I cannot understand an Austrian meeting Dunhill (Beidun) in USA that is some strange leaneage to Chirchill in UK? For could it be an Austrian politician, I wont support him for the Dunhill meeting that he claims to be doing something ?important, or otherwise even worse, Dunov's meeting, is this again some Russian work that they are doing. As Dunov is kind of a Russian sect in Bulgaria, obviously. This advertisement of an Austrian meeting a sectarian president is not working, as dunovist are even sympathizers of Razputin and his diseasers and they in america get these diseases, even, sorry. Such Austrian support, Isaac, I cannot give you, no. In fact this meeting is sickening. I am not supporting this secterian president that makes to overheat the world, or ?the sect of Dunov is removing the heat from Russians by making countries older, it is a sect of elders, pls. I am sorry that this is happening in US, but honestly, I don't want this to be advertized to alternative to something that this is not. 94.155.134.74 (talk) 16:59, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Role in the 2023 Israeli judicial reform protests

"...President Isaac Herzog released a set of compromise proposals and warned of a real possibility of bloodshed and "civil war". But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately rejected his plan." (BBC) --Samiru711 (talk) 12:07, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Please add the following text:

"During Herzog's 2024 visit to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office announced that it was investigating a criminal complaint against him. The nature of the complaint was not disclosed but is believed to be related to the Israel-Hamas war."
