Journalist Ayala Hasson received a thunderous ovation at the annual conference of the Fund for Zionist Leadership, held today (Tuesday). Many of those present stood up as she arrived. Hasson thanked the audience, saying: 'I want to say thank you. Thank you very much, you move me very very very much. This is the gap between Twitter corner of Haaretz and the people of Israel.' The event took place against the backdrop of a media storm and a confrontation with the public broadcasting corporation. Hasson moderated a session on 'Zionist media – an internal contradiction or a national responsibility?' At the conference, the Zionist Leadership Award for the year 5787 was awarded to US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Israeli Ambassador to the US Yehiel Leiter. Last weekend, Hasson burst into tears during an interview on Radio Galei Israel, when she spoke about the attacks against her and the harm to her relatives.
