Ron Ben Yishai, the military commentator for Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth, returned to the “People of the State” conference after a month in Ukraine. He says that the war in Ukraine will probably be the last to be reviewed. “I think so. There’s a stage in life, I do not intentionally say age, where you say ‘it’s no longer appropriate.’ Yar. They did not bomb by the way, ” he said, referring to his exposure .
Ben Yishai, 78, winner of the Israel Media Prize, has experienced many wars. He first fought in the Six Day War in 1967, and since then his character has accompanied almost all of Israel’s wars – and many wars in the world.
At the conference, he told how to cover a war – where to start and how to build the image for readers. “It was the hardest war to cover that I covered, and I covered a lot. Around the world. Not because of the danger, but because of the Pike News. In terms of personal risks, I was in maybe two or three situations where there was real danger,” he said.

“Both sides, both Russians and Ukrainians, are lying without blinking. Putin is doing it at the strategic level, I mean it’s strategic Pike News, and the Ukrainians are lying a little bit. In casualty numbers, the UN has reported 800 deaths in Ukraine since the war began, and Ukraine reports 14 thousand. It is clear that the real number is somewhere in the middle. “
Ben Yishai says that from his contacts with the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zlansky, business in Ukraine is run in a messy way. “The luck of the Ukrainians is that the civilians have taken over the management of the war, and they are waging a guerrilla war and succeeding,” he noted. “Also because of the helplessness of the Russians, which I admit, I would not believe it was like that. By the way, I was with them in Chechnya in 2000 and it was an army of drunks, sorry about that.”
According to him, then the forces went into battle “drunk drunk.” “How did Putin win? They lost the first Chechen war and Putin won the second Chechen war. He simply flattened the Chechen capital, Grozny, to the ground. Three buildings remain standing. Three, not four. And not two, three, I counted. “

“So you are in this city and you understand the levels of killing and destruction. He is afraid to do it now in Ukraine, that’s how I get the impression. Because Ukraine is not some remote republic, but ‘it is ourselves and our flesh.’ “A month after the war began in Kyiv, it has not been completed and will not be completed yet.”
– Who in this story is the villain, who is the fool, but also maybe who is the good one? “The Russians are the villains in this story and you have to say it because you are not invading the country and killing its citizens just for strategy. You are not starting a war and killing people for strategic reasons and changing borders for example what he is doing now, he is opening a land corridor to the Crimea “East of Mariupol to his forces that are on the soil of Slovakia and Moldova. He has forces on the soil of Moldova. He is trying to connect them and create for himself – it is unacceptable.”
“The Ukrainians are the good ones. Why are they the good ones? They are defending their country. I’m not talking about Zalanski. I have a lot to say about Zalanski, I do not really appreciate him. But the Ukrainian citizens who are fighting for their country? They are admirable people on every scale.”
Speaking to Knesset members yesterday, Ben-Yishai said that he “acts like a salesman and that’s actually the best thing he can do. So like a salesman, he exaggerates. He exaggerates all the time. He also distributes Pike News for a good cause, to recruit “Global public opinion in favor of Ukraine. Then you can understand it.” He said, “If you were to try to judge the speech by its content I would not devote even an extra minute to it.”
He referred to Zalanski’s request from Israel to supply weapons and Iron Dome systems. He said: And we would ignore the damage it would do to us or the region in Syria. “
He said that Israel had an interest in not upsetting Russia, but regardless – the Iron Dome would not change the picture: “Remember that many Israeli pilots owe their lives to the arrangement we have with the Russians, that you will deal with your affairs and we are ours. , Iron Dome would not matter. It would help the Ukrainians perhaps intercept more Russian missiles, but not in large quantities. Ukraine is a huge country. Iron Dome is defending a point. Defending Kyiv in my humble estimation needed at least four batteries. That means it would not change the “The face of the campaign, but it’s another slogan that is being thrown away and it is convenient for Ukrainians to hang on to it
