George Deek (Hebrew: ג'ורג' דיק, Arabic: جورج ديك; born c. 1984)[1] is an Israeli diplomat.
[2][3] His father, who worked as a tax advisor,[3] was one of the leaders of the Christian community in Jaffa who served as chairman of the Orthodox Association, and was considered a well-known and popular figure in the city; in 2015 a square was inaugurated in his memory in Jaffa in the presence of Mayor Ron Huldai.
[3] According to Deek, when the war ended, his grandparents felt that they had been "deceived", and decided to return illegally to their home in Jaffa rather than remaining in Lebanon as refugees.
[2] Since reentering the country was illegal, Deek's grandfather, an electrician, was arrested and jailed but Jewish friends and co-workers got him released.
[3][6] He worked as an attorney in Tel Aviv specializing in international law before joining the Israeli foreign service.
