Lavie has accused the Associated Press and other news outlets of reporting a biased view of the Israeli Arab conflict.[2][3][4][5]

Following his first book written during the Arab Spring in which Lavie was posted by the Associated Press in Cairo, he wrote a second book describing why Israel's focus on its existential threats is wrong and that the country should focus on its domestic challenges.[citation needed]
