Wednesday Profile of Simcha Pratt Israel Ambassador to Australia

Simcha Pratt, born in 1912 in Russian Poland, travels from boyhood prayers for Zion to become Israel’s ambassador to Australia, fluent in Arabic and a hawk with a justice streak. He envisions Cairo posting, recalls a Jewish homeland evolution since 1917, and stresses Arab state accountability for Palestinian guerrilla activity, while valuing Australia’s neutrality and shared democratic heritage.

Ambassador Pratt and the rise of Zionist diplomacy in Australia

The interview traces Simcha Pratt’s path from a 1925 Bar Mitzvah to a legal career in Tel Aviv, his 1949 armistice role, and his long tenure as Israeli envoy. It highlights his early kibbutz memories, Haganah service, and 1967 ambassadorship to Australia, New Zealand, and the UN presence, plus his ties to Jewish communities in Australia.
