Gerald M. Steinberg, the founder of NGO Monitor, will step down from his role as president after 25 years, transitioning to president emeritus. Olga Deutsch, who has been with the organization for over a decade, will assume the position of CEO and president on January 1, 2027. Steinberg established NGO Monitor in 2002 following the Durban Conference, motivated by concerns over the politicization of human rights organizations, particularly regarding Israel. In his statement, Steinberg expressed confidence in NGO Monitor's future and highlighted Deutsch's qualifications to lead the organization. Deutsch, who has focused on European outreach and global partnerships, acknowledged the rising threat of antisemitism and emphasized NGO Monitor's role in addressing this issue effectively.
