Rita Katz, an Israeli expat who was born in Iraq and raised in Bat Yam, Israel. As a committed Zionist, Katz was reluctant to ever leave Israel saying, “I believed that Jews belong in Israel”.[1] Nevertheless, in 1997 Katz’s husband was offered a research fellowship in endocrinology at the National Institutes of Health and they moved to Washington DC with their three children.[2] In 2002 with Josh Devon she co-founded the SITE Institute (later to become the SITE Intelligence Group) [3]
