ELNET Briefing with Michael Pregent 8.11.25

Israel is not only fighting a physical war on multiple fronts, but also a war of information. This represents a complex and multifaceted approach to modern conflict, where the manipulation of information can have profound effects on national security, societal stability, and international relations.

This briefing explores the often-blurred lines between propaganda and persuasion.

Former intelligence officer Michael Pregent, provides his insights into how information warfare shapes Israel’s geopolitical alliances and public perception.

Mr. Pregent, who joined ELNET’s military delegation that entered Gaza with the IDF, brings a wealth of experience to our briefing—from embedded advisory roles in Iraq to counterterrorism analysis at CENTCOM.
