گال لوفت ( Gal Luft ؛ مواليد 26 مايو 1966) هو مدير مركز تفكر أمريكي إسرائيلي، author and alleged foreign agent. Luft was a lieutenant colonel in the Israel Defense Forces, and is the executive director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security and cofounder of the Set America Free Coalition.[1][2]

Gal was arrested in Cyprus on February 17, 2023, on an warrant issued by Interpol on U.S. charges of weapons trafficking. After being released on bail, he went missing on March 28; he subsequently fled and went into hiding.[3][4][5][6] On July 10, 2023, the US Justice Department unsealed the indictment for this arrest, dated November 2022, accusing Luft of eight charges including acting as an unregistered foreign agent of Chinese entities under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act and violating trade sanctions against Iran.[7][8] Among the indictment's allegations is that Luft, at the behest of Chinese entities, recruited and paid an unnamed adviser to then-president-elect Donald Trump to adopt pro-Chinese positions.[9][10][11]

Luft claimed that in March 2019 he had made allegations to the FBI and US Justice Department of corruption by US president Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, including accusations that Hunter and the Biden family had improper financial arrangements with the Chinese energy company CEFC. He claimed the criminal charges against him were politically motivated reprisals for his allegations.[12][13]
