Times Of Israel: Will newly beefed-up PR budget bolster Israel’s dire standing in court of world opinion?
On October 17, the IDF killed Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader responsible for the October 7 massacre. While the IDF celebrated this as a victory, the release of a video showing Sinwar's last moments drew criticism for potentially bolstering Hamas's narrative of resistance. Experts argue that Israel's media strategy has faltered, harming international support.
As a result, several countries have suspended arms exports to Israel, and public sympathy has waned significantly. With diplomatic relations deteriorating and a lack of effective communication strategies, Israel's global standing has declined since the onset of the conflict.
