    Background

    Founded in 2017, Nevut (Hebrew for “navigation”), also known as International Lone Soldiers, is a charitable organization that financially supports American citizens seeking to fight on behalf of the nation of Israel. It also helps American veterans of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) transition into civilian life through programs and resources. 3 1 4

    Activities

Nevut had organized parties and meetings between Americans who volunteered to serve in the Israel Defense Forces and right-of-center Daily Wire commentator Ben Shapiro, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, and New York Mayor Eric Adams (D). According to the report, Nevut at the time operated across 22 states.
