In our episode of ROPESCAST, we feature Mohammed Daraghmeh, a veteran Palestinian journalist and bureau chief of Al-Sharq TV (Saudi Arabia) in Ramallah, who brings decades of experience covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including his tenure as a senior correspondent for the AP in the West Bank.
Daraghmhe offers a rare insider's perspective on how media coverage shapes—and often distorts—public understanding of one of the world's most scrutinized conflicts.
With unflinching honesty, Daraghmeh explores the uncomfortable truths that remain hidden from both sides: What do Israelis really know about the horrific humanitarian situation in Gaza? What do Palestinians understand about the trauma and reality of October 7th? He reveals how information is filtered, manipulated, and sometimes deliberately concealed by various actors—from governments to media organizations themselves.
Join us for this important conversation that challenges how we consume and understand conflict reporting, and explores what it would take to burst the information bubbles that prevent both peoples from seeing each other's humanity and suffering.
