Fighting the Media War

In addition to the battlefield where Israel’s soldiers are risking their lives every day, there is another “virtual” war going on that is influencing how people around the world are viewing the real war.
The hostility towards Israel in much of the international news media is not a new story, but since October 7 it has taken on added importance.

The Begin Center is bringing two people on the frontline of this fight to talk about their experiences of the past few months, and their assessment of what is happening in the media and why.
Eylon Levy is an Israeli Government Spokesman, and you will doubtless have seen the many viral clips of his debates with news anchors and his brilliant rhetorical defense of Israel.
Gil Hoffman is executive director of HonestReporting, which fights for Israel in the international mainstream and social media.

Eylon is also host of the State of a Nation podcast. He previously served as the international media advisor to the President of Israel after a career as a TV news anchor. Born and raised in the UK, he studied at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge before making Aliyah and serving in the IDF. Gil previously served for 24 years as chief political correspondent and analyst for The Jerusalem Post, where he is now a regular columnist.
