The Jerusalem Post reports: David Keyes, a pioneer in using online crowdsourcing platforms to promote human rights around the world, will become Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s next English language spokesman, The Jerusalem Post has learned from senior government officials.

Keyes will replace outgoing spokesman Mark Regev, who was appointed as the next ambassador to London and is expected to take up that position by the beginning of March.

Keyes is currently the executive director of Advancing Human Rights and a co-founder of CyberDissidents.org. He is also a contributor to The Daily Beast news and opinion website.

Advancing Human Rights is a US-based human rights organization that was established by Robert Bernstein, who founded – but later turned sour on – Human Rights Watch. The organization runs Movements.org, an Internet platform that connects human rights activists in closed societies with people around the globe.
