Programs

1
ISRAEL AT WAR: FIGHTING THE IRANIAN AXIS
An up-to-date analysis of the current state of play in the Gaza war and the conflict on the Lebanese border, accompanied by a look at Iran's involvement on these fronts and others. Through its proxy forces, Tehran is challenging Israel from Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. How is Israel striking back?
2
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.
3
TARGET TEHRAN
Since the early 2000s, Israel has engaged in covert operations against Iran’s nuclear weapons program, allegedly employing assassinations, sabotage, cyber-attacks, and more to counter the threat of a nuclear-capable Islamic Republic. An action-packed look at how Israel’s spy agency Mossad has led this fight - based on Ilan’s book “Target Tehran” (Simon & Schuster, September 2023)
4
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.
