Nadav Eyal
The Morning After: Israel, Iran, and What Comes Next with Carly Maisel

Nadav Eyal is one of Israel’s most prominent journalists and a winner of the Sokolov Award—Israel’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. He writes columns for Yediot Ahronot and Ynet, Israel’s most widely circulated newspaper and news website, respectively. He also serves as a senior commentator for Channel 12, one of Israel’s two commercial channels.

Since 2021, Eyal has served as the chairman of the Movement for Freedom of Information, a highly regarded NGO in Israel dedicated to promoting transparency and accountability, aiming to foster a more open, democratic, and accountable society.

Beginning on October 7, 2023, he has focused his work on stories and analyses related to the Hamas attack and the subsequent war in Gaza and the northern border of Israel, including reporting multiple times from the field and writing the accounts of victims.

Eyal authored the bestseller Revolt, the Worldwide Uprising Against Globalization, which was published in 2021 by Ecco HarperCollins (USA) and Picador (UK), and has been translated into multiple languages. Revolt challenges prevailing views on nationalism and populism and argues that modern globalization is unsustainable, not only due to technological and social imbalances or the decline of liberal democracy, but because of a sentiment, a drive to dismantle hollow, corrupt, and unresponsive power structures.

In 2023, Eyal published How Democracy Wins (if it does) in Hebrew. Haaretz described the book as “one of the most interesting books ever written on democracy in Hebrew,” noting the author’s skill in “weaving local and global narratives, enriching them with historical anecdotes, and grounding them in solid intellectual thinking.”

Throughout his journalistic career, Eyal has extensively covered Middle East affairs, Israel’s role in a globalized world, and Washington-Jerusalem relations. His writings have appeared occasionally in Haaretz, the Daily Telegraph, Der Spiegel, The Washington Post, and The Daily Beast. He has held senior positions in major Israeli media groups, interviewed four Israeli prime ministers, and foreign heads of state.

In 2016, several months before the presidential elections, Eyal aired Trumpland, a series of short documentaries detailing the grievances haunting America, specifically the rust belt. He earned an MSc in Global Politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (with merit) as a Chevening Scholar and an LL.B. from Hebrew University (magna cum laude).
