The Israel-Hamas war has proven to be a particularly fraught conflict on social media.

Finding out what’s happening on the ground has been complicated by a number of issues: the divisiveness of the debate on both sides, and how entrenched each viewpoint is; the ease with which alternative narratives are broadcast; and the immediate emotional responses that content can trigger. 

In this, the last episode of the series, host Chris Stokel-Walker speaks to Valerie Wirtschafter, a Fellow in Foreign Policy and the Artificial Intelligence Initiative at the Brookings Institution about the solutions to these issues and how we can verify truth in the fog of war.

Producers: Christopher Hooton and Nicola Kelly.
