Fake News Has Real Consequences

In this column, I focus on how fake news on social media shapes global public opinion, directly impacting the legitimacy Israel receives to take military action against terrorism. Israel’s national security is heavily influenced by our international standing and the opinions of the global community, making public diplomacy a critical tool.

I also call for critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the consequences false information can bring, offering real-world examples, particularly during times of tension and global challenges.
