The fifth season of Fauda is generating international attention after confronting the events and trauma of October 7. The important point for WBII is not whether a television drama can ‘win’ an argument about Israel. It is that culture reaches people who will never open a policy paper or follow a parliamentary debate. Drama can humanise experiences that political language reduces to positions. For younger and international audiences, Israeli television, music, film and literature are part of how Israel is encountered and understood. Culture is not propaganda – but it is part of the conversation.
