Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu and his colleague - the head of the government of Ukraine Vladimir Groysman - entered the seven most influential Jews of the world in 2017.

This is a poll that was conducted among its readers by one of the leading in Israel and one of the most popular, in the Jewish world, English-language newspapers - the Jerusalem Post - on the eve of the New Year according to the Jewish calendar (Rosh Hashanah).

In view of the fact that the main contingent of J-Post readers are US citizens, including those living in Israel, it is not surprising that the leaders of the list were the American "star couple" - the daughter of Donald Trump Ivanka (Yael), who adopted Judaism, as well as her husband Jared Kouchner (political advisor to the US president).

Recall that Jared is a grandson of Jewish partisans from the Tuvi Belsky detachment, who after the end of World War II emigrated to the United States.

In second place - Israeli actress Gal Gadot - who played the main role in the Hollywood actor "Miracle Woman", and only on the third - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

At the fourth stage of the rating - US Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin (Menukhin), whose great-grandfather, Aaron Menukhin, emigrated more than 100 years ago from Russia to Belgium, and from there moved to the United States.

In the fifth place - the former Minister of the Interior and a member of the Likud leadership Gideon Saar, whom some experts consider the likely successor of Benjamin Netanyahu as head of the Israeli government.

The sixth line of the rating is occupied by the new head of the Supreme Court of Israel, Esther Hayyut, and in seventh place - the Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Groysman.

Avihai Mandelblit, the legal adviser of the Israeli government, is closing the ten most influential Jews in the world.

Among the current ministers of the Israeli government, Avigdor Lieberman and Naftali Bennett are the 14th, followed by Minister of Justice Ayelet Shacked.

Chairman Sohnuta Nathan Sharansky in 17th place, and on the 19th line of the rating "Jerusalem Post" are just three ministers from Likud - Israel Katz, Miri Regev and Gilad Erdan.
