Kalman Liebskind (Heb: קלמן ליבסקינד; born on 1970) is an Israeli journalist.
Biography
Liebskind was born in Nir Galim and studied at the Yeshivat Or Etzion. He was drafted into the Intelligence Corps of the Israel Defense Forces and upon discharge, worked as a private investigator. In 1997, he was one of the founding journalists at Makor Rishon and worked as an investigative reporter. In 2000, he began working at Maariv.
Liebskind has published several high-profile exposés:
- In 1999, he exposed Ehud Barak's non-profit organizations that funded Barak's elections' campaign, in violation of Israel's political parties funding law.
- In 2008, he exposed that general Yoav Galant has taken over public lands in Moshav Amikam. This exposure led eventually to the cancellation of Galant's appointment as Chief of General Staff of the IDF.
