"50 years ago, the tension between freedom of the press and state security was at its peak during the Yom Kippur War," says Intelligence Corps member and former IDF Spokesperson, Brig. Gen. (res.) Dr. Ephraim Lapid. "If today the ratio is 80 percent to 20 percent in favor of freedom of the press, then the ratio would be completely opposite."
