Dan and Yossi analyze a surprising spate of Israeli Jews who spied for Iran -- motivated by money; but our guest, Professor Yoram Peri, sees it as a sign of Israeli society breaking-apart. Dan and Yossi also discuss Israeli intelligence people's reaction to America's embarassing "Signal-gate": senior U.S. officials used the Signal app to discuss attack plans -- not realizing a journalist was part of the chat group. Professor Peri also claims that patriotism in Israel, even after the war that's followed the October 7 atrocities, is sadly waning. Also: How the 2-month ceasefire in Gaza helped Israel's intelligence agencies gather information that enabled targeted assassinations once the war resumed on March 18.

Dan's most recent book -- with Israeli espionage/defense expert Yossi Melman -- about the Mossad and Israel's other security agencies is "Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel's Secret Wars" -- You may purchase it at http://bit.ly/41j1Sc3 in Kindle or paperback (and on all e-book platforms).

AND ANOTHER BOOK: Dan Raviv is co-author of a new book -- with world-renowned social psychologist Prof. Arie Kruglanski -- "The Quest for Significance: Harnessing the Need that Makes the World Go Round." It explains how every person has a need for respect and dignity, and the book advises how you can find what's important to you -- and figure out all the people around you, to give them a measure of Significance ... and then they typically will reflect some back at you. That's called a win-win. To buy: https://amzn.to/3Y2cawj
