Douglas Murray, a British journalist, author and Israel advocate, has accepted a position at the Manhattan Institute, according to a Nov. 18 announcement. He joined the organization as a senior fellow and a contributing editor to its magazine, City Journal.
The think tank had awarded Murray its 2024 Hamilton Award, “for his unwavering defense of Western values.”
A day after announcing his new role, Murray appeared with conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro at Jerusalem’s International Convention Center to speak before a crowd of 3,000. “My hope is that whatever the Israeli military and political leadership can do, the endgame should be that the virus that has ruined Iran … is gone,” Murray said at the event.
His next book, On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, is expected to be released on April 8, 2025. His previous titles include The War on the West, The Madness of Crowds, 2020’s Islamophilia and The Strange Death of Europe.
