To mark The Jerusalem Post’s 90th anniversary, Editor-in-Chief Yaakov Katz sat down with Diplomatic Correspondent Lahav Harkov, Palestinian Affairs Correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh and Middle East Affairs Analyst Seth Frantzman for a conversation about the Post, its significance and how their jobs have changed since they became reporters. The full conversation can be heard on The Jerusalem Post Podcast. This is an abbreviated version, edited for style. JPost at 90 Yaakov: Lahav, when you look at 90 years of The Jerusalem Post and where we are and how we’ve gotten here, what comes to mind?  Lahav: So, first of all, if we look more broadly at the 90 years of The Jerusalem Post, we used to have this column that was from the archives. I don’t remember if it was every day or every week. If something happened, you’d see how The Jerusalem Post was covering these huge events in Israel’s history and in the world’s history. And it really gives an idea of how significant this newspaper has been in telling Israel’s story to the world.  In the past 10 or 12 years, I would say that the thing that has changed the most is how fast everything has become – because of the media environment, more broadly, everything’s moving really fast. Everything is on social media. You have to have some information the second something happens. And that’s challenging in terms of trying to keep up our accuracy and to try to use the sources that we have that other people reporting in English don’t have. But I think that we’ve kept to that challenge. We’ve met that challenge impressively. Yaakov: But I think it’s also extra sensitive in the diplomatic beat, right? Because of this, the information that you publish really could impact Israel’s standing or its ties with a country, or how it’s going to be condemned at the UN or not. Lahav: Yes, there are some stories that you can do and they’re quick and easy; you know, if a leader has a phone call with another leader. But a lot of the important things on the diplomatic beat are happening behind the scenes, and they take a lot of phone calls and a lot of talking to a lot of different people to try to corroborate things. And they’re definitely not instant stories.  I used to be on the Knesset beat, and you would have near uniformity of coverage because everything was at the Knesset. You sit in the committee rooms and you might have a different headline, but more or less the same things are happening. But on the diplomatic beat it’s very individual because you’re really getting stories behind the scenes. Yaakov: Right. It’s not just what’s happening. Seth, you’ve traveled the region on behalf of The Jerusalem Post. You look at this 90-year milestone. What’s your big takeaway? Seth: I think that one of the fascinating things is if you go back and look at The Jerusalem Post in the 1930s and in the area of the pre-state period especially, it’s fascinating to the degree to which the Post had reporters that were actually in the region who were going to places like Lebanon or Egypt, and they were getting stories from people there. And they were actually doing a lot of reporting also on the Arab community and what was then British Mandate.  So obviously that shifted in the 1950s or ’60s, and then you get to the present day. I think that when you look back at those 90 years, what I found in traveling the region, the fascinating thing is that even countries with which Israel doesn’t have any relations, like Iraq, the times that I would travel there and spend time with the Kurds, for instance, a lot of people there are reading The Jerusalem Post. I think in the West, as Lahav said, there is a huge number of media. Everyone’s running to get tweets out and stories, and a lot of it kind of looks the same sometimes; but when you’re in the region,]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">jerusalempost.podbean.com/054008bf-7d19-3fff-9ed1-8f6266b41f86</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Dec 2022 18:23:26 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52471966/jps0112222.mp3" length="23481263" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jerusalem Post Podcasts</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Editor-in-Chief Yaakov Katz sat down with Lahav Harkov, Khaled Abu Toameh and Seth Frantzman for a conversation about the Post, its significance and how their jobs have changed.

The irony is that their alleged "attacks" include Shchem, Jenin and areas in Lebanon, as well as the Gaza strip and Golan Heights. They continue and talk about Israel-US relations, specifically the obsession of the Biden administration regarding the Israeli settlements. We can see Increased tension between Israel and the US on this issue, which should not come as a surprise as Biden was part of the Obama administration and the Palestinian issue always created disagreements between the two countries in Obama's era. Next, they discuss Bennett's historic visit to Abu-Dhabi and the content of the talks such as cooperation around health, tech, trade and R&amp;D. They talk about the feelings on the streets in Dubai, specifically around the Iran talks in Vienna. Another issue they discuss is the Israeli official aircraft, "Wings of Zion." Why is this airplane not being used?  And what is a podcast without discussion of COVID. Lahav asked, "Why are we having an International beauty contest in Eilat and not allowing Jews from around the world get into the country?" They end up the podcast speaking to Loay Alshareef , a social media activist and an expert on Israeli-UAE relations, who talks about Bennett's visit to the United Arab Emirates. Alshareef believes that as a content creator and social activist his role is to bring people together, educate them and share his knowledge. He speaks about a real change that is happening in the Arab world and hopes to visit Israel this Passover.

Though everyone hoped the winter would look differently, we are faced with a yet another variant outbreak and on the verge of the country's fifth COVID-19 wave. Omicron cases are rising, Hoffman and Tercatin explain, though serious cases and mortality rates are going down. Omicron is at least four times more infectious than the Delta variant, research is starting to show.  Israel reacted swiftly by shuttering Israel's airport once again to foreigners, a decision that was extended through December 22. All Israelis are likewise asked to isolate for a minimum of three days on return to the country from abraod.  Does the vaccine work? They talk about when we will really know. And also look at why Israel's vaccination remains at only 60%.  As we expect the weather to get colder this upcoming week, another issue that was brought to the table is the flu outbreak in Israel. Last winter, the flu completely disappeared. There was not even one case in Israel. We can assume this was caused at least in part by social distancing, lockdowns, wearing masks and washing hands. But this year flu cases are quickly going up. There were 300 people hospitalized with flu as of the weekend, nearly double the number we saw in 2019. And, here too, vaccination numbers are really down.  They end up the episode on a happy note, sharing with us the six things you must do to have a happy and healthy life.

When it comes to Iran, Katz said that Israel is worried about the possibility of ending up with a "bad deal," as the US seems to be withdrawing from the Middle East, which could be disastrous for Israel if its withdraw looks anything like the Afghanistan model. Both Katz and Lahav recall how both Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid were hopeful that they could work differently with the White House than former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu - keeping their disagreements behind closed doors. But they said it is not really working out the way the leaders hoped.  They also talk to Anna Ahronheim, the Jerusalem Post Military Correspondent, about her interpretation of the Iran talks and a possible strike against the regime. Later on in the episode, they discuss how Israel is hosting leaders from Cyprus and Greece to discuss regional developments around gas and natural resources. Is having these meetings sending a message to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan? Next, they talk about recent terror attacks, and in particularly this week's attack in Jerusalem where a border police neutralized a terrorist and were criticized for this.   They end the episode with the role of digital diplomacy in Israel's position in worldwide through a fascinating conversation with Yiftah Curiel, director of digital diplomacy at the Foreign Ministry and former spokesmen of the UK Embassy in London. He shares with them the work the ministry in Israel's propaganda war across social media. Curiel also talks about the next challenges and goals of 2022, including having a TikTok account.

The burning question: How did the world get a COVID variant with more than 50 mutations, including over 30 on the virus’ spike protein? According to Cohen, SARS-CoV-2 mutates at a rate of about one mutation every two weeks. So a variant like Omicron would mean that it started mutating almost two years ago, “which does not add up with what we know.” So, why are we seeing so many mutations at once in a variant? Partly because this variant was developing for a few months under the radar until it acquired enough mutations to be what the Omicron is today as a variant of concern. And the likelihood, said Cohen, is that it could have incubated in people with defective immune systems, like for example in people with AIDS. “In normal people, not vaccinated, infection lasts five to 10 days,” he said. “This lapse in time is what the virus has to change until you infect someone else. In vaccinated people, the virus has around a day - meaning the virus would not thrive as it does in unvaccinated people. That is why it is so important to get vaccinated in order to stop the spread of the variants. “But in immunosuppressed people, you might end up with a kind of chronic infection in which the virus lingers for a month or so,” he continued. “And during that time, the virus could actually dodge the immune system and accumulate more and more mutations.” The virus is just replicating over and over in the person’s body because the immune system is not able to stop it.  “Africa should definitely be granted access to vaccines as fast as possible,” Cohen contended, “because this is a global fight and only when all of the population will have access to vaccines can we stand a chance of minimizing the cases we will see.” Other items during the discussion: &gt; Children’s vaccination&gt; Shuttering Israel’s airport&gt; The effectiveness of the mRNA vaccines - against the variant and in general  Photo credit: REUTERS, as seen on jpost.com]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">jerusalempost.podbean.com/01ac5c6f-4d61-3f66-9602-751355283f18</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Dec 2021 05:57:04 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52472010/jps0112211.mp3" length="31334435" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jerusalem Post Podcasts</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In a special edition of the Jerusalem Post Podcast - Health &amp;amp; Wellness Edition, Senior Health Analyst Maayan Hoffman talks with Prof. Cyrille Cohen, head of the Immunology Lab at Bar-Ilan University, explains what is concerning health experts.

As Israelis and Jews across the world prepare for the day-long fast to atone and repent for their sins of the year, Katz and Harkov discuss apologies in Israeli politics - or lack thereof - and the different ways Israel and its politicians have changed throughout the past year. Later in the episode, Harkov sits down with the former secretary general of the World Jewish Congress Dan Diker to discuss the controversial annual Durban conference scheduled for September 22.
