Life
He has described himself as a "post Zionist," believing that "the Semitic Jewish people as an inherent and organic part of the Middle East" and that "once Israelis and Palestinians are both free to fully explore the nature of their people-hoods, the two populations will be able to make room for one another." He has condemned violence against Palestinians and further Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
He is a head educator of the ATID student leadership program.
HaKohen and his family settled in Beit El in the West Bank in 2009. He has eight children.
