In a survey conducted by the "Het'orerut”  movement, a disturbing picture emerges that shows the extreme lack of trust of Israeli citizens in the police. According to the survey, almost half (47%) of Israeli citizens do not trust the police. Among the ultra-Orthodox - 52% do not believe in the police. It also shows that 48% of Israelis testify that under National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gavir, their degree of trust in the police decreased. Shanna Orlik, the CEO and founder of the movement Het’orerut, or Rise, said that it was a sign of politicalization of the police. But she told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan it was reversible.

Israel is not telling the narrative about Hizbullah, which has dropped off the Western world radar decades ago, and the country needs to refit its messaging if it intends to deal with Hizbullah because every Israeli deserves the right to live in peace and security in their country. This according to Cliff Sobin, an author of three books on Hizbullah and Israel. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that messaging needs to grab attention, be emotional and be informative. So far, Israel isn’t delivering this, even to its own people. (photo: Alma)
