Sharon Tzur is founder and executive director of Media Watch International, a group that monitors news media to be sure an accurate and positive picture is presented of the State of Israel. She was born in Canada and raised in Israel, served in the Israeli Air Force, and then became an assistant to Member of the Knesset and former Tel Aviv Mayor Roni Milo. She was described as a confidante of Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert.

On coming to the US, she became director of Betar USA, a Zionist youth group.

In 2008, Tzur was questioned, at the Israeli consulate in New York, about financial improprieties related to former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert and U.S. contributor Morris Talansky. According to Haaretz, she was not directly linked to irregularities. [1]
