Facing the Middle East, Episode 16: Israel-Saudi Relations a Little Less Hush-Hush
Christian media leaders, Muslim clerics, and quiet Saudi-Israeli business ties reveal how new alliances are reshaping the Middle East’s political and moral landscape

Facing the Middle East opens this episode in Jerusalem, where the fight over narratives is nearly as fierce as the battles on the ground. At the Christian Media Summit, Government Press Office Director Nitzan Chen says that while Israel excels in technology and military prowess, it is losing ground in the digital arena, where Hamas and its supporters have learned to dominate social media feeds. Chen sees Christian broadcasters and journalists as crucial partners, “ambassadors” who can carry Israel’s story to congregations and audiences worldwide.
