“I’m first a journalist & a human being and then an Israeli. How could it be any other way?” The veteran @haaretzcom writer @gideonle on whether he ever feels a conflict between his identity and his craft. @mediaconfpod with @lionelbarber mediaconfidential.lnk.to/podcastAh

A v sobering interview with @gideonle from @haaretzcom who reports every week from the West Bank on daily life for the Palestinians. This is a much neglected story. Plus on @mediaconfpod @arusbridger and I discuss bolshy newsrooms at the New York Times and NPR - and saturation…
Each week the Israeli journalist @gideonle travels to the West Bank to give @haaretzcom readers a sense of Palestinians’ lives. His dispatches are quietly revelatory. He speaks about his work on @mediaconfpod with me and @lionelbarber mediaconfidential.lnk.to/podcastAh
As Russian forces advance and pulverize everything in their path, life is draining out of Ukraine's frontline communities. My @FT dispatch from the Donbas. ft.com/content/bccdf9…
I wrote end February that Ukraine is in dire need – and the West must respond quickly. Incredibly, Congress has still to act and Biden administration has been near silent. Almost like Potus can only deal with one crisis at a time spectator.co.uk/article/ukrain…
The Iranians telegraphed their drone attacks, they reportedly informed neighbours 72 hours ahead of the strike, and they had to make a show of force after the humiliating loss of Quds force commanders. Doing nothing would have exposed the regime’s brittleness. Conclusion: the…
Last night's events in the Middle East show the value of allies and of long term investment in defence. Iran's capabilities - to attack with a wide variety of precision long range weapons - are considerable. European countries could not have mounted a similar defence
PM Kishida: I delivered an address at the U.S. Congress entitled “For the Future: Our Global Partnership”. With the international community now at a historic turning point, I focused on what kind of future 🇯🇵 & 🇺🇸 should seek to leave for the next (1/2)
Former Post Office boss Alan Cook telling inquiry he had no idea that the PO could initiate its own prosecutions has to be one of the feeblest excuses of all time. He literally had no idea how the business he was running operated
@lionelbarber @anneapplebaum @arusbridger If you think ukraine is forgotten what abt Afghanistan and Sudan?
Ukraine is the only country in the world facing ballistic missile attacks. It can be defended by Patriot systems unused or in storage elsewhere. This needs to happen now.

PM Kishida 🇯🇵 clear in his address to the 🇺🇸 congress: “Russia's unprovoked, unjust, and brutal war of aggression against Ukraine has entered its third year. As I often say, Ukraine of today may be East Asia of tomorrow.”

While Washington sleeps, Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine cities (Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv) continue to escalate and now the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is under attack. Wake up MAGA Republicans before it is too late!
