Corporate History
Jonathan Charles Goldstein registered as an individual FARA registrant in September 2025 for M.N. Target Consultants, an Israeli entity. Individual FARA registrations (as opposed to corporate registrations) are less common and indicate that Goldstein is personally serving as a foreign agent rather than through a firm structure.
The foreign principal M.N. Target Consultants is an Israeli consultancy. The agreement attached to the Exhibit AB, dated August 29, 2025, is between Goldstein and Nitzan Meir, "who owns a consultancy, MN Target Consultants". Under it Goldstein assists the consultancy with a Druze delegation's "short, humanitarian mission to the United States from September 6-14, 2025" to "raise awareness of the persecution of Druze and other religious minorities in Syria": scheduling meetings with Members of Congress, transport and logistics, and clerical help. The Exhibit AB says he will not "engage in advocacy or policy discussions" and "will not receive any salary, fees, or honoraria"; compensation "may include lodging accommodations, meals, reimbursement of the FARA registration fee, and incidental travel support". The registration statement reports no money received.
Among the three documents filed at registration on September 2, 2025 is an Informational Materials filing: a two-page flyer, "Humanitarian Mission: Protecting the Druze and Religious Minorities in Syria from Genocide", which lists two members of the Knesset as delegation leaders and Goldstein as "Director of U.S./Israel Relations & Press Secretary". No supplemental statement for #7639 is in the record as of November 13, 2026; its three filings are all stamped September 2, 2025.
