Oren Nahari, a respected journalist and former editor of foreign news at Channel 1 in Israel, has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a condition that progressively impairs motor function. Despite his diagnosis, Nahari remains active in his intellectual pursuits, continuing to write and lecture on historical topics. His recent publications include 'The Great Battles That Changed History,' which analyzes significant battles and their impacts, and 'Democracy on Trial,' which critiques the state of democratic systems globally. Nahari expresses deep concern for Israel's future, particularly regarding its strategic position amidst tensions with Iran and the unresolved Palestinian issue. He notes a troubling trend of young Israelis leaving the country for better opportunities abroad, which he believes contributes to Israel's growing international isolation. However, Nahari holds a hopeful perspective, stating, 'Nothing in history is inevitable until it happens,' suggesting that a collective effort could lead to positive change in Israel's trajectory. As he confronts his illness, he reflects on life and the importance of remaining engaged with the world around him.
