Jew billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife resigned from their posts on the executive board of Harvard’s Kennedy School in protest of school president Claudine Gay’s belated, lukewarm response to the student letter blaming Israel for the terror attack by the Islamic terrorists of Hamas.
Ofer, the shipping and chemicals magnate whose net worth was valued by Forbes at $14 billion as of Thursday, said he and his wife were quitting the board. Ofer and his wife, Batia, said they resigned “in protest of the shocking and insensitive response by the president of the university, who did not condemn the letter by student organizations who blamed Israel for the massacres.”
“Our faith in the university’s leadership has been broken and we cannot in good faith continue to support Harvard and its committees,” the Israeli billionaire said.
Earlier, several CEOs and business executives backed billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman’s call to not hire Harvard students, who issued the statement blaming Israel for Saturday’s horrific Hamas terror attacks on the country.
