Kisch was born and raised in Tel Aviv. His paternal grandfather was Frederick Kisch, the highest-ranking Jew ever to serve in the British Army. Through his mother, he is a descendant of Shmuel Salant, who served as Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem in the 19th century. Kisch held British citizenship until having to renounce it in 2015 as a condition of being allowed to take up a seat in the Knesset.[1] He holds an MBA from INSEAD.
Prior to the 2015 elections he was placed 19th on the Likud list,[2] a slot reserved for the Tel Aviv region.[3] He was elected to the Knesset when Likud won 30 seats.[4] In March 2023, Kisch resigned from the Knesset under the Norwegian Law and was replaced by Sasson Guetta.[5]
Personal life
Kisch is married with three children and lives in Ramat Gan.
