Programs

ISRAEL AT WAR: CONFRONTING IRAN HEAD-ON

An urgent briefing on the Israel–Iran war. Ilan explains Israel’s decision to strike inside Iran, drawing on the strategic doctrine, red lines, and intelligence assessments he explored in Target Tehran. The operation was enabled by regional shifts imposed during the Swords of Iron war, which weakened Iran’s proxies. This talk shows how Israel prepared for this moment—and what may come next.

TARGET TEHRAN: THE ROAD TO WAR

This gripping session traces the covert war that preceded the open one. From assassinations and sabotage to cyberwarfare and diplomacy, Israel spent two decades trying to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Based on Ilan’s book Target Tehran, this program explains how Israel’s long-standing strategy evolved—and why it reached a breaking point in 2025

BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS

A fascinating look at decades of covert ties between Israel and Arab states, the secret behind-the-scenes diplomacy that led to the breakthrough Abraham Accords, and if and when Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries will break the ice and go public on their ties with Israel

JEWISH, DEMOCRATIC, OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN?

Israeli society is engaged in a tectonic collision between opposing political and religious worldviews. How do current efforts to “overhaul” the judiciary and its relations with the executive play into all of this? Can Israel reconcile its different tribes, can it remain both Jewish and democratic, is it moving full speed toward becoming an illiberal democracy, or worse? A guide for the perplexed.
