Recorded on June 14th from here in central Israel, in the midst of the Iranian strikes against the Jewish state, I’m joined by Yaakov Lappin to assess where the Israeli military campaign against Iran’s nuclear weapons program currently stands, how the Israeli campaign might unfold, and why this needed to happen now.

Fear not! All will be well!

In this episode of the show I reflect on the recently concluded MirYam Institute I-SAP tour to the Nazi death camps in Poland and to the sites of the D-DAY landings in Normandy, attended by close to fifty delegates from U.S. military colleges.

Together with Yaakov Lappin, we then turn our attention to the ongoing crisis surrounding the drafting of the Haredi community into the IDF before assessing the status of the hostage crisis and the threat of the Iranian nuclear weapons program. 

Enjoy!

In this solo podcast, MirYam Institute in-house analyst Yaakov Lappin explores why, as Israel approaches strategic decisive outcomes in Gaza, the propaganda war against it grows louder. 

He also looks at the highly dramatic impasse that nuclear talks with Iran have reached, and how President Trump might respond when he concludes that the art of the deal does not apply to the jihadist regime in Tehran. 

Yaakov examines why encouraging the collapse of the Iranian regime should be the real end goal, and why actions are more important than words when it comes to Syria.

In this solo episode, MirYam Institute analyst Yaakov Lappin explores why the launch of a Hamas-free aid distribution program in Gaza marks a pivotal new phase in the war. The initiative aims to dismantle Hamas’s military and political control simultaneously.

Lappin discusses how Israel, working with an American private security firm, is now managing aid distribution—fundamentally shifting power dynamics on the ground. He also details the coordinated advances of five IDF divisions across Gaza.

Turning east, Lappin examines why time is running out on Iran’s accelerating nuclear program, as Tehran seeks to corner the Trump administration in a high-stakes diplomatic trap.
