If you’ve noticed fewer Caroline Glick columns or videos on JNS lately and went looking for answers, you’re not alone. A lot of her regular readers and viewers have been asking the same question.
The short answer is: she hasn’t formally left JNS. But her role there has clearly shifted — and there’s a very specific reason why. This article will walk you through who Caroline Glick is, what her relationship with JNS looked like, what changed in early 2025, and why her new government role is the most likely explanation for what you’re noticing.
Who Caroline Glick Is and Why Her JNS Work Mattered
Caroline Glick is an American-Israeli journalist, author, and political commentator. She lives in Efrat, a community in the West Bank, and has spent decades building a reputation as one of the sharper conservative voices in Israeli media.
Her career includes serving as deputy managing editor and senior columnist at The Jerusalem Post, writing a column at Israel Hayom, and founding the Latma satirical website. She’s known for her commentary on Israeli security policy, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the relationship between Israel and the United States.
Her presence at JNS wasn’t minor. She appeared regularly on JNS TV, spoke at JNS events, and covered exactly the kind of policy-heavy topics that JNS’s audience follows closely. She was one of the more recognizable voices associated with the outlet — which is exactly why her reduced visibility there caught people’s attention.
Her Role at JNS Before the Government Appointment
Glick wasn’t just a one-time guest at JNS. She showed up repeatedly — in video segments analyzing the war with Iran, in interviews about Hamas strategy, and in discussions about Hezbollah and Israel’s broader diplomatic position.
She also spoke at the inaugural JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem, held on April 28, 2025. That kind of involvement — appearing at a flagship event alongside other major voices — signals a meaningful, ongoing relationship with the outlet.
It’s worth noting how public sources describe her role: as a columnist, commentator, and event speaker. There’s no indication she was a salaried staff employee in the traditional sense. That matters when you try to understand what “leaving” would even mean in her case.
JNS gave her a reliable platform to reach a pro-Israel, policy-focused audience. And she used it well — until something bigger came along.
What Changed in Early 2025 — The Government Role
This is the core of the story. In early 2025, Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Caroline Glick as his international affairs adviser in the Prime Minister’s Office.
This isn’t an honorary title or a ceremonial role. It’s an active, senior government position focused on international messaging and foreign policy strategy. According to The Jerusalem Post, the appointment was part of Netanyahu’s effort to strengthen Israel’s public diplomacy team during the Gaza war. She even joined him on his official visit to Washington in that capacity.
Think about what that means in practical terms. When you become a senior adviser in a sitting prime minister’s office, you are no longer an independent voice. You represent the government. Your job is to help shape and communicate official positions — not to offer personal opinions in a weekly media column.
That shift alone explains most of what people are noticing at JNS. The same thing happens when a well-known TV political analyst joins the White House. They don’t necessarily cut ties with their old network entirely, but they’re no longer showing up every week as a free-thinking commentator. Their status changes — and so does their content.
There’s also the practical reality of bandwidth. A senior advisory role in a wartime government is demanding. The idea that she would continue producing regular commentary for an outside outlet at the same pace is unlikely.
The New York Consul General Consideration
Around the same time, there were reports that Netanyahu was actively considering Glick for the role of Israel’s Consul General in New York. JNS even covered the wave of support that came in for that potential appointment. However, according to i24NEWS, Netanyahu later reversed course and dropped her from consideration for the post.
That back-and-forth shows the direction her career was moving — deeper into the diplomatic and governmental world. Even if the consul general appointment didn’t happen, the fact that it was seriously discussed tells you something about where she was headed.
She Hasn’t Formally Left JNS — But Her Role There Has Shifted
Here’s the part that’s easy to miss: there is no public resignation letter. There’s no formal announcement. No confirmed statement from Glick or JNS saying she has cut ties with the outlet.
In fact, JNS has continued to feature her. Their Facebook page promoted a video titled “Caroline Glick returns to JNS” — an interview where she is identified as international affairs adviser to Netanyahu. They’ve also posted interviews with her analyzing the war while she holds her government role. One video, posted six days into a recent phase of the conflict, features her explaining how the map is shifting and why different actors are behaving the way they are.
So she’s still appearing. She’s still being featured. But the framing has changed. Instead of being introduced as a JNS columnist or host, she’s now introduced as an adviser to the Prime Minister who is appearing on JNS as a guest expert.
That’s a meaningful difference — even if it looks subtle from the outside.
Think of it like this: if a trusted columnist at a business publication takes a senior government communications role, that publication doesn’t necessarily stop having them on. But they stop running a weekly column under their name. Instead, they bring that person back occasionally for a sit-down interview. The relationship continues, but the nature of it changes completely.
That appears to be exactly what’s happened between Glick and JNS.
Why This Matters for Media Outlets Like JNS
From a business and media standpoint, this kind of shift is worth understanding. When a marquee commentator moves into government, a specialized outlet like JNS faces a real adjustment.
They lose regular, exclusive content from a well-known voice. But they can also gain something — the prestige of having a direct connection to a sitting government adviser. When JNS hosts Glick as a guest, they’re now hosting someone with direct access to the Prime Minister’s Office. That’s not nothing.
The smart move for any outlet in this situation is exactly what JNS appears to be doing: pivot from “regular columnist” to “occasional insider guest.” You lose the predictable content schedule, but you gain a different kind of credibility.

So What’s the Real Answer?
Caroline Glick hasn’t publicly resigned from JNS. There’s no evidence of a falling-out, a dispute, or any kind of dramatic exit. What happened is more straightforward.
She moved into a senior advisory role in the Israeli government. That role is active, demanding, and comes with real constraints on what she can say publicly as an independent voice. As a result, her presence at JNS shifted from regular contributor to occasional guest expert.
If you’ve been noticing fewer Glick columns and videos on JNS, that’s likely the explanation. Not a departure — a change in capacity.
It’s a pattern that plays out often when prominent commentators move into government. The media presence doesn’t vanish overnight, but it changes shape. And for audiences who followed her work closely, that shift can feel like a loss — even when the person is still technically around.
Whether Glick eventually returns to regular journalism after her government role wraps up remains to be seen. For now, she’s operating in a different lane — one with a much bigger platform and a very different set of responsibilities.
