Gideon Levy
Gideon Levy is an Israeli journalist and author who writes opinion pieces and a weekly column for Haaretz, Israel's longest-running newspaper.
A child of Holocaust survivors, he focuses extensively on the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and human rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank.
Once able to report from Gaza until journalists were banned in 2006, Levy has become a rare dissenting voice in Israeli media, widely condemned by his government and fellow citizens for his criticism.
He has won multiple prizes for his human rights reporting, including Israel's prestigious Sokolov Award for journalism in 2021, demonstrating recognition of his courageous, often controversial work.
