Disinformation, Social Media, and the Shifting Narrative of the Israel-Hamas War – TV7 Panel

Miri joins a panel of security and intelligence experts to discuss the ongoing complexities of the Israel-Hamas war, recent developments in Gaza, and the wider regional tensions involving Iran, Syria, and Yemen. Miri focuses on how Israel is increasingly portrayed as the aggressor in the conflict due to relentless disinformation and the framing on social media, especially among young adults in the West. She highlights the difficulty of breaking through echo chambers that avoid mention of Hamas’ actions, leading to a global public perception that ignores Israel’s security challenges and the continued hostage crisis. Miri also addresses Iran’s persistent attempts to destabilize the region, their ongoing priorities in Syria and backing of Hezbollah, as well as the evolving threat from Houthi forces in Yemen. She emphasizes the significant challenge in countering these multifaceted threats while dealing with misinformation and hostile media narratives.
