Please join host Amir Oren for the second of a two-part interview with Brigadier General (Res.) Doron Gavish. The Israeli Air Force is a world leader due to several factors, particularly the constant threat of actual attack from Lebanon and Gaza, as well as potentially from Iran and territories under its control. As one of the first IDF officers charged with overseeing operation of the Patriot anti-missile defense system, BG Gavish went on to command the country’s initial deployment of the Iron ...

In the ever-explosive Arab-Israeli conflict, which to a great extent though not exclusively is also a Moslem-Jewish one, Jerusalem is the most delicate component, always about to set off a detonation. The holy city was supposed to be governed by the United Nations until the 1948 Israeli War of Independence left it divided between Israel and Jordan. The city was reunified after the 1967 Six Day War although only the western part is widely recognized as sovereign Israeli territory. Diplomatic effo...

Jonathan and Yair return to the studio to discuss the tensions in Israel - particularly on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims. Jonathan explains the complex situation at the ancient site, including the meaning and implications of preserving the “status quo” arrangement. We encourage you to take time to pray for Muslims during the month of Ramadan, and for God to speak to their hearts and reveal Himself.

The Russia-Israel relationship, which was favorable until the invasion of Ukraine, is now a minor casualty of this war, in which Jerusalem has no direct self-interest. At first Israel tried to avoid taking a position, but American pressure to condemn Russia’s policy proved too much - and Moscow countered in kind. Diplomatically, verbal blows are exchanged, with the Russian Foreign Ministry singling out Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid for an “aggressive” statement and blaming him for trying t...

As Russia’s war on Ukraine enters its third month with no end in sight, Kyiv knows full well that no power will join its active defense against the forces of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine will fight alone, with the most it can expect from the outside is material assistance of weapons, ammunition, equipment. This is obviously necessary but not sufficient to repel the invaders and negotiate a reasonable end to the conflict - which would nevertheless not justify the horrendous death tol...

The Israeli government has been in office for ten months and the next election is scheduled three and a half years from now; but the coalition is currently teetering on the brink of political abyss with the defection of its own Majority Whip, a member of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s Knesset faction. Because Israel’s legislators are on recess for the next several weeks, moves to unseat Bennett are in suspended animation - but his future seems bleak, though not downright doomed. So how will th...

For several years now, Israel’s domestic security situation was considered relatively good, with long periods of quiet occasionally punctured by few incidents and frequent reports of air strikes against hostile targets in neighboring countries. Military Intelligence nevertheless continued to issue strategic alerts regarding an outbreak of violence emanating from the West Bank, due either to internal Palestinian tensions or individual frustrations. Whatever the cause, the warnings were proved cor...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has unleashed a humanitarian crisis there, had also brought about an indirect effect far away. The war in Yemen, which is in its eighth year, killed more civilians than the one in Ukraine, almost nine thousand, yet the poor population there is out of sight and out of mind. On a basic level, it is a civil war between Yemenis; but on another one it is fought between Saudi Arabia and Iran, whether through air strikes or the provision of drones and missiles. An in...

In its 43 years in power, the Islamic Revolutionary regime in Tehran had only two Supreme leaders, Ayatollahs Khomeini and Khamenei. They have both faced a similar dilemma, reconciling the top priority of survival for their structures built in order to control the country with their aspirations to export that version of Shi’ite revolution to all corners of the Middle East. The essence of this dilemma is the fate of the Iranian nuclear project. It was designed to give the outward push of the revo...

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel last week for the second time during his watch as President Joe Biden’s top diplomat, ten months after his first trip to Jerusalem. Last year, his mission was to help reach and preserve a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with Egyptian mediation. This time he celebrated Israel’s growing acceptance into the Middle East by Arab countries from the Gulf to North Africa. But what does that mean for the long-stalled peace process between Jerusalem ...

Can the international system function when two Superpowers are in direct conflict just short of an actual collision? The Russia-Ukraine war has for the first time since the rise of the Berlin Wall in 1961 ignited greater friction between Moscow and Washington than the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War or clashing interests in the Levant. How can lesser powers navigate between the two while looking after their own national interests? Must they choose sides or will they be able to remain neutral w...

The use of cyber weapons, both defensive and offensive, is supposed to be a hallmark of modern war, supplementing and even supplanting traditional kinetic operations. Yet in the Russia-Ukraine conflict cyberwarfare seems to have been in use less than expected; and if it accompanied the Russian invasion, had little impact - unless the domestic Russian media manipulation is taken into account. Israel, too, has recently seen cyber exchanges, such as an Iranian attempt to embarrass Mossad Chief Davi...

As the Russia-Ukraine war marks its second month, there are various implications for countries outside the immediate vicinity of these combatants.

President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Ankara earlier this month was an important milestone in a long road back to a sensible relationship between Israel and Turkey. The ‘strategic love affair’ between the two nations in the 1990s turned into an acrimonious divorce after the rise of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan to power. With new political and economic realities in the Levant and the Eastern Mediterranean, Erdogan’s initiative to warm the chilly relationship seems to have an initial success, b...

A little over 1,000 kilometers separate Kiev from Vienna, but the two capitals recently seemed to be twin cities. What happened in the Ukraine war apparently loomed over the talks regarding Iran’s nuclear program, with a final draft of abstinence-for-assistance ready to be signed but frozen due to Moscow’s demands to allow trade with Tehran, despite the economic measures taken against Russia in the Ukrainian context. While diplomacy waits its restart, the International Atomic Energy Agency has m...
