Adam Harvey: A foreign correspondent's perspective on the Israel-Gaza war

Adam Harvey is a reporter with ABC TV’s 7.30 and their former
Middle East correspondent. We sat down with him to talk about his
experience working in the Middle East, what it was like when he
returned to Israel late last year, and how journalists get their
information. Plus, we ask whether he would ever have thought the
events of 7 October were possible and if he is surprised by
Israel’s response. Club Picks: This article that was written by
Adam himself. He talks about it in the podcast because it was
published 24 hours after the 7 October attack. He also discusses
CNN reporter Clarissa Ward, one of the only reporters who has been
able to enter Gaza without an escort. Here is a piece she produced
after doing so.  Adam recommends this podcast by Yonit Levi of
Israel’s Channel 12 News and Jonathan Freedland of The Guardian - 2
prominent journalists - called Unholy: Two Jews on The News.
Finally, Adam pointed us in the direction of 3 books called
‘Jerusalem’ as background to a city he and so many others love:
Simon Montefiore’s biography Jerusalem* Dominique Lapierre and
Larry Collin’s O! Jerusalem*, which covers the events surrounding
the creation of the state And Ottolengi’s famous Jerusalem
