Fleur serves as senior fellow at the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy. In this role, she contributes to advancing the institute's mission of addressing critical issues in Israeli national security, policy, and Zionist strategy.

Fleur serves as Secretary General of Kol Israel, becoming the first woman to lead the faction within the World Zionist Congress. As the ideological successor to the General Zionist Party, Kol Israel connects with the majority of world Jewry seeking a relationship with Israel beyond labels or limitations. The faction also invests in Zionist youth movements and places innovation at the core of the Zionist movement.

The UAE-Israel Business Council was established by business and public sector leaders from the UAE and Israel to help foster shared opportunities, economic cooperation and business partnerships between Emiratis and Israelis.

As part of its initiatives, the Council supports the Gulf-Israel Women’s Forum, which unites over 100 female leaders across the Middle East to build personal and professional connections. Rooted in the belief that women are natural networkers and peacebuilders, the Forum has evolved from a grassroots effort into a movement encompassing women from both Abraham Accords and non-Accords nations, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Fleur has recently co-founded Campus Israel, a pioneering organization that empowers young adults from the diaspora to pursue English-language degrees at Israel’s top universities. Campus Israel offers more than just a world-class education—it provides a transformative experience with comprehensive emotional and social support, equipping students with the skills, relationships, and confidence to excel in their careers while fostering deep connections to Israel and a renewed Zionist spirit. By bridging academics, professional development, and cultural integration, Campus Israel is shaping the next generation of global leaders united by shared values.
