Biography

Early life and education

Kisch was born and raised in Tel Aviv. His paternal grandfather was Frederick Kisch, the highest-ranking Jew ever to serve in the British Army. Through his mother, he is a descendant of Shmuel Salant, who served as Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem in the 19th century. Kisch held British citizenship until having to renounce it in 2015 as a condition of being allowed to take up a seat in the Knesset. He holds an MBA from INSEAD.

Political career

He was on the Likud Yisrael Beiteinu list for the 2013 Knesset elections, but failed to win a seat.

Prior to the 2015 elections he was placed 19th on the Likud list, a slot reserved for the Tel Aviv region. He was elected to the Knesset when Likud won 30 seats. In March 2023 Kisch resigned from the Knesset under the Norwegian Law and was replaced by Sasson Guetta.

Personal life

Kisch is married with three children and lives in Ramat Gan.
