Israel Is Turning Against Itself | Dr. Shir Hever

In this interview, our senior editor Zain Raza interviews author, economic researcher and journalist Dr. Shir Hever, who examines the deep contradictions shaping Israeli society and politics—from public support for war and the struggle over Netanyahu’s future to the ultra-Orthodox draft crisis, the blocked October 7 inquiry and growing economic pressure. The conversation then turns to Pegasus spyware, Germany’s expanding cybersecurity cooperation with Israel and the danger of surveillance technologies that can transform an ordinary phone into a weapon against its owner. What do these developments reveal about Israel’s internal crisis—and the consequences far beyond its borders? ABOUT DR.
