In this episode, MirYam Institute In-House Analyst, Yaakov Lappin, is joined by Col. (res.) David Hacham, former Arab Affairs Advisor to multiple Israeli Defense Ministers, to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip. 
He asserts that only ongoing Israeli security control coupled with a temporary Israeli military administration can ensure that Hamas is uprooted.
They then explored why this proposal faces such fierce opposition from some voices in Israel, including from recently dismissed Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant.

In this episode, I visit Amir Tibon at his temporary home in Kibbutz Mishmar Ha’emek in northern Israel, a community that opened its doors to residents of Nahal Oz post the October 7th massacre. 
Here he details his arrival there, outlines why he moved to the kibbutz and shares stories of comfort and inspiration as he and his young family work to rebuild their lives one day at a time.

In this episode of the show recorded in March 2024, Amir Tibon, brings me into his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.
This bullet-riddled house, recently built by him and and his wife Miri, was the place they hoped to raise their two young daughters.
On October 7th, Hamas terrorists stormed into the kibbutz and fired automatic gunfire into his home, as his entire family hid inside the family safe room. In this first segment of my conversation with Amir, he tells me how he and Miri made the decision to move from Tel Aviv and to build a life in Nahal Oz. He outlines what the atmosphere was like before October 7th and how the nightmare of that awful day began to unfold, as he feverishly contacted his colleagues and his father, desperately seeking to be rescued from an impossibly dangerous situation.

Standing in for me this week is The Miryam Institute’s in-house analyst Yaakov Lappin.
Going solo, he responds to various critiques of Israel's war effort, and argues that those who don't prioritize the need to remove terror armies from Israel's borders are advocating for future disaster. 
He then explains how non-miliary, strategic benefits only belong to powers that have demonstrated their willingness to defend their core interests first. 
Toward the end of the podcast, he discusses why drones remain a persistent threat, the arms race underway to mitigate that.
Finally, Yaakov expressed why building a sukkah this year is an act of Jewish resistance against Hamas's jihad.

On September 19th, 2024, The MirYam Institute hosted a robust dialogue between former Member of Knesset and former Deputy Ambassador to Egypt, Ruth Wasserman-Lande and yours truly. 
The evening featured vigorous areas of agreement and disagreement centered around two specific questions:
1) Could Israel win the war against Hamas - and if so, how?
2) Does the alarming rise in anti-Semitism mean the golden era of American Jewry is over?
Audience Q&A followed the conversation.

In this episode, I sit down with Yaakov Lappin to discuss what has been an horrific year for Israel and the Jewish people. We did so from a deeply subdued Israel, a country still grappling with all that has befallen it over the past twelve months and which is still deeply embroiled in its response to the ongoing threats that started on October 7th.
In an effort to provide you with some unique and different perspectives, we assessed the ramifications of the following topics: 
1) The 1200 Israelis murdered on October 7th
2) The ongoing hostage crisis
3) The 300,000 soldiers drafted into service
4) The fissures in Israeli society
5) Israel's place among the nations

In this episode, I'm joined by Yaakov Lappin to discuss the implications of the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah and how Israel ought to respond to the second ballistic missile attack from Iran.
We outline why it's time to hit Iran's nuclear program and their economy and explain why Israel's enemies have been allowed to trade on an unfounded schoolyard "rep" for far too long. 
We also close the show by reflecting on our thoughts for the coming year.

In this episode, I’m joined by Yaakov Lappin to discuss the recent wave of explosions in Hezbollah‘s communication devices as well as the machinations behind the mooted dismissal of Defense Minister Gallant.
Yaakov and I also reflect on the tragic loss of four IDF soldiers in Rafah, including the first female soldier lost in this war, post October 7th. 
Finally, we riff on Kamala Harris’s recent comments regarding Israel.  
Enjoy!
