The private station headed by Seaman and confusingly named "Voice of Israel" has a well-defined political agenda, as opposed to the official Israel Radio International station, known in English also as "Voice of Israel", which is presenting news and comments in a much more balanced, mainstream and representative way. A veteran of the Israeli civil service, he retired in January 2014 after 31 years of duty. His last position was Deputy Director General for Information at the Israeli Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. In August 2013, Seaman was suspended from his government position as Director of Interactive Media because of offensive comments he made about Japanese commemorating the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Palestinians commemorating the Nakba .
