Appears in this episode
After 7 years as Editor-in-Chief of the Jerusalem Post newspaper, Yakov Katz put out his final edition at the end of March. And before that, he served for two years as a senior aide to then Minister Naftali Bennett. Katz discusses his “awakening” and experience after seeing the backrooms of Israeli politics at the top, and the moment when PM Bennett called to tell him that he finally saw the “real” Benjamin Netanyahu. He shares his insights into the challenges of dragging legacy media into the digital age, the extreme nature of political discourse in Israel and the quite dangerous precipice on which the country perches, at the moment. It’s a freewheeling chat and Katz’s irrepressible energy is infectious. He speaks very quickly… be prepared to listen!

I'm bacccckkkk. It's been a challenging month but I've allowed myself to gradually get my mojo back and it seems to have worked.....lots of great stuff in the hopper that you'll be reading and listening to in the coming weeks and months.....I have to say......it was kind of healthy to NOT follow every twist and turn in this exhausting moment in Israel......that seems to never end. I'm back in the frying pan and thrilled to be. Look forward to engaging with you, dear readers and listeners.
