United Hatzalah Miami Gala to Honor Cohen, Pompeo, Skolnick Family and Former Hostage

MIAMI – United Hatzalah of Israel will hold its annual Miami Gala on December 17, 2025, at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry. The event will raise funds for the organization’s volunteer emergency-response network in Israel.

Former Mossad director Yossi Cohen and former U.S. secretary of state and CIA director Mike Pompeo will receive the group’s Protectors of Israel award. The two will take part in a panel discussion titled “How Spycraft Changed the Middle East,” moderated by journalist Katie Pavlich.

Bar Kuperstein, an Israeli hostage recently released after being abducted from the Nova Music Festival on October 7, will receive the Greenberg Traurig Courage Award.

Barry and Missy Skolnick, major supporters of United Hatzalah, will be recognized with the organization’s Humanitarian Award.

Money raised at the gala will go toward expanding United Hatzalah’s emergency-response capacity, including its fleet of ambucycles, ambucars, and other rapid-response vehicles. The group aims to reach medical emergencies in Israel within 90 seconds.
