Summary
Journalist Ruth Eglash has covered the war for the past two years. In this lecture she discusses her perspectives on the conflict as a long-time journalist, Israeli, and a parent. She also considers how the conflict has changed the rules and ethics for journalists and the media—from battling contradictory narratives, social media, and AI. Also discussed are the chances for peace, the atmosphere now that all living hostages are home, efforts to return deceased hostages and internal politics, and Netanyahu’s next steps.
