Dr Emad Moussa is a Palestinian-British researcher and writer specialising in the political psychology of intergroup and conflict dynamics, focusing on MENA with a special interest in Israel/Palestine. He has a background in human rights and journalism, and is currently a frequent contributor to multiple academic and media outlets, in addition to being a consultant for a US-based think tank.

The growing impact of ‘influencers’ has dangerously emboldened some to become self-appointed experts in subjects like Covid vaccines, and even attracted repressive states like Egypt to breed their own social media ‘ambassadors’, argues Emad Moussa.
