At the opening of the „Democracy and its Challenges“ conference in Tel Aviv (May 2010) Levy gave a very high estimation of the Israel Defense Forces, saying „I have never seen such a democratic army, which asks itself so many moral questions. There is something unusually vital about Israeli democracy.“

Lévy has reported from troubled zones during wartime, in order to attract the public opinion, in France and abroad, over those political changes. In August 2008, Lévy reported from South Ossetia (Georgia) during the 2008 South Ossetia war; in that occasion he interviewed the President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili.
