Moshe Hirsch (Yiddish: משה הירש; 1924 – 2 May 2010) was a Jewish activist and Palestinian politician who headed Neturei Karta and served as the "Minister of Jewish Affairs" within the Fatah-led Palestine Liberation Organization. He was the son-in-law of Neturei Karta's founder Aharon Katzenelbogen and his first wife. Born in New York City, he later moved to Jerusalem and maintained a close relationship with Palestinian president Yasser Arafat. Hirsch requested Arafat to grant Neturei Karta members the opportunity to obtain Palestinian passports once they were created. He expressed his refusal to carry an Israeli passport and hold Israeli citizenship. Following the death of Arafat in 2004 and the victory of Hamas in the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, Hirsch pledged allegiance to the new leadership. He then visited the Legislative Council's headquarters in Ramallah to demonstrate his support.
