Life

He has described himself as a "post Zionist," believing that "the Semitic Jewish people as an inherent and organic part of the Middle East" and that "once [Jewish] Israelis and Palestinians are both free to fully explore the nature of their people-hoods, the two populations will be able to make room for one another."[2] He has condemned violence against Palestinians and further Israeli settlements in the West Bank.[3]

He is a head educator of the ATID student leadership program.[4]

HaKohen and his family settled in Beit El in the West Bank in 2009. He has eight children.
