#193 - Trey Yingst

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Trey Yingst, a distinguished reporter at Fox News and the author of "Black Saturday: An Unfiltered Account of the October 7th Attack on Israel and the War in Gaza." In his book, Trey provides a candid and unfiltered account of the first months of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, giving readers a vivid and raw understanding of the events as they unfolded. What was it like on the morning of October 7th, having experienced the attack firsthand? How has life in Gaza changed since that day? How does Trey view Israeli society in the context of the conflict, social and political affairs? What is Hamas's perspective on Israel? Trey's unique perspective, having been on the ground from the onset of the conflict, offers a compelling narrative of both sides of the war. In this episode, Trey also reflects on the personal and professional challenges of reporting from one of the most volatile regions in the world. He shares his insights on the realities of conflict journalism and how being a foreign correspondent shapes the story. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned for more thought-provoking discussions and eye-opening content! Head editor - Yinon Sofer
