    BRIEFING: DISARMING HAMAS & ACRONYMS WITHOUT MEANING

    In this lively situational briefing, I sit down with John Spencer, Senior Analyst at The MirYam Institute. Returning from fact-finding trips to Gaza and southern Lebanon, John outlines his reasons for optimism and for concern regarding the "Board of Peace" proposal for Hamas disarmament, highlighting the importance of US verification, civil governance, and phased decommissioning. I counter with resolute pushback rooted in Israeli security realities and priorities —dismissing unproven acronyms, rejecting Palestinian statehood, and arguing against the fallacy of Jihadist groups disarming. Together, we debate international stabilization forces, Saudi normalization demands, Egyptian culpability for October 7th, and requirements for long-term regional security. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Resources Mentioned Pre-order John Spencer's new book "Twent Times I Almost Died" via the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Twenty-Times-Almost-Died-Survival/dp/B0GFX5TQLK Support the show The MirYam Institute.

    In this situational briefing, MirYam's In-House Analyst Yaakov Lappin outlines three security priorities for Israel: US-Iran Gulf Conflict: As the MoU lies in tatters and Iran and the U.S. trade strikes, what are the red lines that Israel must declare and strictly enforce.Lebanon Pilot Program: A US-brokered test calls for the deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces (L.A.F.) in southern Lebanon with a view to keeping the area clear of Hezbollah. But can L.A.F. be depended on to do that? IDF Personnel Crisis: Severe troop shortages have prompted societal and military demands for the government to enlist ultra-Orthodox Israelis into the Israel Defense Forces.

    Briefing: The US-Iran MOU vs. Israel's New Security Doctrine

    In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin explains why Israel is entering the period of the newly announced US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding from a major position of strength, and why Jerusalem will not be bound by any agreement that ignores its core security needs. Despite the hazy details emerging ahead of Friday's formal signing in Switzerland, one thing is clear: Israel's new security doctrine of proactively dismantling threats and holding territory for as long as needed is here to stay. Lappin breaks down what this MOU could mean for the region and underscores why flawed diplomacy must not push the public into a state of doom and gloom. Support the show The MirYam Institute.

    BRIEFING: ISRAEL’S NEW REGIONAL EQUATION

    In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin, analyzes the highly dramatic events of the past 24 hours in the Middle East.  Recently, the Iranian-led Shiite jihadist axis has attempted to bully Israel into accepting new operational "equations" - formulas designed to dictate the boundaries of military action. This extortion attempt stems from the fact that Hezbollah, Iran's flagship proxy in Lebanon, has been severely degraded. Israel fired back against this Iranian extortion attempt. As such, Israel successfully reestablished its strategic independence. Support the show The MirYam Institute. Israel's Future in Israel's Hands.
