What means does the Muslim Brotherhood use to influence the Egyptian regime, and what are the implications of these actions?

How does the campaign that aims to undermine stability in Israel through online influence operations work—and how can it be countered?

What lessons can be learned from the British response to Iranian influence operations—an issue that similarly affects Israel?

How did Trump’s return to the White House mark a retreat from efforts to defend against foreign online interference – and what are the implications for the West and Israel?

The analysis of Iranian interference in social networks in Israel highlights the lack of systemic treatment of this phenomenon. Therefore, what are the recommended actions and policies that government ministries and civil society should develop to address this challenge?

Swords of Iron war has created a complex reality for most of the Israeli public, as well as for media personnel and journalists. Various media outlets—from editors to the last reporter in the field—adopted the national narrative immediately after October 7 and “recruited” themselves to the battle against the cruel enemy in the South. Along the way, they abandoned journalistic and classic norms, which were replaced by unity, patriotism, and a lot less criticism of those in the field. Will these journalists be found to have been correct from a historical perspective and in terms of the outcome? It is still too early to say, but the phenomenon is fascinating and raises many questions about the role of the media in wartime and at any other time.
