Join Benjamin with Yaakov on the balcony in Rishon Letzion for their most strikingly informal yet serious conversation to date. 

Following a report that President Biden called for an immediate ceasefire during his recent phone call with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Benjamin sat down to discuss the implications of such a demand with Yaakov Lappin, In-House Analyst at The MirYam Institute. 

Gaza, Lebanon, U.S. elections, Israeli elections, the ongoing hostage crisis and more are all on the docket for discussion.

This is Benjamin's own narration of an op-ed published in the Jerusalem Post on Sunday, February 18th 2024.
Originally titled "Egypt and Gazans Must Reap What They Sowed," it was penned shortly after Israel's heroic rescue of two of our hostages and as the prospect of an IDF incursion into the city of Rafah in southern Gaza continues to gather steam and momentum. 
The written version of the op-ed can be viewed here:

In this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by Aviram Meir, uncle of Almog Meir-Jan. Almog was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th. He's a 21 year old civilian. Aviram and I discuss how he sees the current stage of the negotiations for the release of the hostages and he expresses the guilt he carries as the relative of a hostage in the pursuit of whose freedom and return, soldiers of the IDF are fighting - and dying. 
After that, I'm joined by our in-house analyst Yaakov Lappin for a brief discussion about the U.S. retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Syria, the likelihood of a direct conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and the ongoing war inside the Gaza Strip. 
As ever, I hope you enjoy the conversation and please remember to subscribe.

In this episode of the briefing, I'm joined by Avi Bell, professor of law at Bar Ilan University and University of San Diego, Yaakov Lappin, In-House Analyst at The MirYam Institute and David Hacham, former Advisor on Arab Affairs to successive Israeli Ministers of Defense and a retired Colonel in the IDF.
Prof. Bell and I began by discussing the ICJ ruling in response to the case brought by South Africa against Israel, the threat of prosecution attempts of IDF soldiers under universal jurisdiction and the powers of enforcement held by the ICJ and the ICC. We went on to talk about the revelations that at least twelve members of UNRWA had been shown to have played a direct role in the Hamas massacre of October 7th. 


Thereafter, I spoke to Colonel Hacham and Yaakov about the ongoing progress of the IDF inside Gaza, Egypt's resistance to the IDF holding the Rafah crossing in any long term security arrangement, as well as the security perimeter the IDF is establishing around the perimeter of the Strip.  

As always, I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
