Yaakov Katz

Editor-in-Chief, The Jerusalem Post

The vital role of fair, fearless and truthful journalism

27th May 2021

Yaakov Katz is editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post. Founded in 1932, with a reach of over 12 million, it is regarded as one of the world’s leading Israeli-English voices. Appointed in 2016, and previously the paper’s reporter and defence analyst, he is also a prolific author – his latest book is titled ‘Shadow Strike: Inside Israel’s Secret Mission to Eliminate Syrian Nuclear Power.’  In this in-depth interview, Yaakov discusses the “vital role” of the Post for readers both in Israel & around the world, and the importance of the trust placed in them as “a reliable source of information;” argues that Israel must “win the narrative war” and renews his commitment to holding all parties to account, including the Israeli government & security services; and shares his optimism that despite the current hostilities, peace will one day come to the region.
