This is the Israel Defense and Diplomacy Forum (IDDF) – with Prof. Chuck Freilich, former Israeli Deputy National Security Advisor, and Danny Ayalon, former Deputy Foreign Minister and Ambassador to Washington. 

In this episode, Chuck and Danny are joined by an old friend and colleague, Yochanan Tzoreff, a world-leading expert on Palestinian affairs and society.

Yochanan explains why there's been a sudden uptick in violence and why the "second Intifada" shouldn't be described as such because it was different to the first outbreak of violence.

The three experts also discuss the security issues raised and caused by the Oslo Accords and the current fundamental obstructions to a Two-State Solution.

Episode 6 of the Israel Defense and Diplomacy Forum (IDDF) – with Prof. Chuck Freilich, former Israeli Deputy National Security Advisor, and Danny Ayalon, former Deputy Foreign Minister and Ambassador to Washington. 

In this podcast, Chuck and Danny continue the historical overview of seven critical turning points in the evolution of the US-Israel “special relationship” that they began last time. 

And in this special episode, Chuck and Danny are also joined by Dennis Ross.

Dennis served as the Director of Policy Planning in the State Department under President George H.W. Bush, the special Middle East coordinator under President Bill Clinton, and was a special adviser for the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia (which includes Iran) to the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The episode is one of a multi-part series on US-Israeli relations. Future episodes will address the relationship’s three pillars (shared values, strategic interests and the “Israel lobby”);  what the “special relationship” actually encompasses, including military aid and cooperation, joint strategic consultations and planning, the US commitment to Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge, strategic diplomatic cooperation and more; what being pro-Israel means today; cases where the two sides have failed to live up to each other; and four critical questions for the future - whether the price of the relationship has been a significant loss of Israel’s independence and freedom of maneuver, whether Israel could even survive today without the US, where the relationship is heading and what can be done to preserve it for the long term.

In this podcast, Chuck and Danny continue the discussion of President Biden’s trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Discussion of the Biden visit sets the stage for a multi-part series of podcasts these two foremost experts on US-Israeli relations will conduct. In this first part of the series, they begin with an historical overview of seven critical turning points in the development of the “special relationship”.

Episode 4 of the Israel Defense and Diplomacy Forum (IDDF) – with Prof. Chuck Freilich, former Israeli Deputy National Security Advisor, and Danny Ayalon, former Deputy Foreign Minister and ambassador to Washington. 

In this podcast, they discuss the primary domestic and national security ramifications of Israel’s upcoming elections, and President Biden’s trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia in mid-July. Both agree that Israel’s ability to address the Iranian, Hezbollah and Hamas threats, as well as the Palestinian and other major issues, will be impaired by the ongoing political crisis. They also agree that the primary focus of Biden’s trip will be Saudi Arabia and the need for heightened oil production, following the war in Ukraine, but that this will be an opportunity for Biden to demonstrate Democratic support for Israel prior to the mid-term elections and to strengthen Lapid in Israel’s elections. Chuck believes that the very future of Israeli democracy may be at stake, due to Netanyahu’s unbridled attempt to remain in office, and that this may be the final election in which a two-state solution remains viable. Danny is far more sanguine and stresses the positive.

The MirYam Institute proudly presents the third episode of this new biweekly podcast on Israeli defense and diplomatic affairs – the Israel Defense and Diplomacy Forum (IDDF) – with two of the foremost experts in this area, Prof. Chuck Freilich, former Israeli deputy national security advisor, and Danny Ayalon, former Deputy Foreign Minister and ambassador to Washington.

Chuck comes from the center-left and Danny from the center-right.

In this podcast, they discuss how to deal with the literal ticking timebomb of the JCPOA Treaty, which will eventually permit Iran to have nuclear weaponry. This is something Israel and indeed the rest of the world must not let happen.

But is this existential threat to Israel something Chuck and Danny could possibly disagree on? Yes, to some extent!

The MirYam Institute proudly launches the second episode of a new biweekly podcast on Israeli defense and diplomatic affairs – the Israel Defense and Diplomacy Forum (IDDF) – with two of the foremost experts in this area, Prof. Chuck Freilich, former Israeli deputy national security advisor, and Danny Ayalon, former Deputy Foreign Minister and ambassador to Washington.

Chuck comes from the center-left and Danny from the center-right.

In this podcast, they discuss the strategic ramifications of the Six-Day War, 55 years later. Both agree that the Six-Day War was an historic turning point in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, that ensured Israel’s existence, marked the beginning of Arab acceptance of Israel and was an important stage in the development of the “special relationship” with the US. Things heat up as they discuss the the settler movement and whether the war may have set the stage for Israel’s demise as a predominantly Jewish and democratic state.
