This episode of Fakeland features Yohanan Tzoreff, INSS senior researcher and an expert on the Palestinian arena, and Arik Barbing, former commander of the Jerusalem region of the Shin Bet and head of the cyber division, in a conversation with Attila Somfalvi about Hamas’s influence operations, public opinion, and Israel’s difficulty in influencing the Gazans. The podcast is produced in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Israel
