"What's Israel Doing?" with WSJ Reporter Marcus Walker

"What's Israel Doing?" with WSJ Reporter Marcus Walker

One year on from the Hamas attack, Josh is sick of biased bickering about why Israel is in the right or in the wrong. Here, he brings you an informed, impartial, big-picture account of where Israelis and Palestinians find themselves.


Marcus Walker is a senior reporter at the Wall Street Journal, and the friend to whom Josh turns when he needs to understand the Middle East. A Brit based in Rome, Marcus has been deployed to Israel as a journalist seven times since October 7th, interviewing the most influential players and embedding himself in the conflict. No one knows the country's mood better.



Enjoy this bracing, eye-opening assessment of the fate of the Jewish state and its Palestinian subjects.
