CNN has announced the appointment of Oren Liebermann as its new Jerusalem Bureau Chief.
The move marks a return for Liebermann, who spent six years working as a correspondent for the network in the Israeli capital. He most recently had served as the Pentagon correspondent for the network.
“To step back into the Jerusalem bureau in this new role at a pivotal moment for the entire region is an incredible opportunity,” Liebermann said. “We have an outstanding team there, many of whom I know well from my time working directly alongside them, and a complex, vitally important story to report on. I’m excited to get started.”
Oren Liebermann joined CNN in 2015 after previously working at CBS 3 in Philadelphia.
“Our Jerusalem bureau is home to some of our most dedicated, experienced, and talented journalists, covering an always complicated, multi-faceted story at a uniquely challenging time,” said CNN Worldwide Managing Editor Mike McCarthy. “Few people understand the needs of that operation better than Oren, and we couldn’t ask for a better leader for the bureau.”
During his time working for CNN, Liebermann ha reported from Russia, Serbia, Nepal, and the United Kingdom, in addition to his time spent in Israel and Washington D.C.
