Eylon Aslan-Levy, (Hebrew: אילון אסלן-לוי) also known as Eylon Levy, is a British-Israeli figure who served as official Israeli government spokesman, from the start of Gaza war to March 2024, when he was suspended as spokesman after complaints from the UK government following his public criticism of their stance towards Israel and the Gaza war. He continues his public advocacy work, with a podcast partly-sponsored by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism. He also visits Jewish diaspora communities around the world with organizations such as the Jewish National Fund and StandWithUs.
Levy was born in London, United Kingdom. He attended University College School in London and University of Oxford, where he received his bachelor's degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics in 2013. He moved to Israel in 2014 at the age of 23 to join the Israeli military during the 2014 Gaza War. In 2016, Levy began work as the chief news anchor at IBA News, and then later presented news at i24NEWS.
