Please join us for discussion on negotiations in Vienna to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between Iran and world powers. Additional topics include Israel’s relations with Turkey, and the future of the Palestinian leadership. Co-Hosts: 1. Col. (Res.) Dr. Eran Lerman, Israel’s Former Deputy National Security Adviser, Vice President of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Secu...

According to conventional wisdom, Washington is a ‘one-crisis city’ unable to effectively handle two major problems simultaneously. Perhaps this applies to the ongoing Iranian nuclear effort, when the Biden administration is almost totally focused on the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The Vienna talks have been dragging on with no reported breakthrough, and the Iranians are slowly but systematically enric...

Ever since the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded, in 1949, the Mediterranean and the Levant constituted NATO’s Southern Flank, with the U.S. Sixth Fleet the main striking force in the region. With Europe once again a hot spot, especially on the Russia-Ukraine front, NATO could find itself back in its core mission, having all but withdrawn from the Mideast trouble spots its member nati...

“The arc of the moral universe is long,” Martin Luther King Jr. once said. The political universe may not be very moral, but it, too, has an ARC - the American-Russian-Chinese domination of world affairs. In this episode, we will explore the relationship between the three components of this ARC, which with the tensions within Europe seem to be the major powers in play. What is to be expected in th...

Of the two neighboring Arab countries upholding their peace accords with Israel, Jordan is always of more concern to strategic planners in Tel Aviv and their Cabinet in Jerusalem. Egypt’s mainland is far away across the Sinai Desert, and its regime seems relatively safe. But the Hashemite Kingdom has to contend with a Palestinian majority, cells of Jihadi groups, a vocal opposition to the economic...

Europe faces a wide range of open-ended challenges at a time when European leadership remains obscure. Similarly to a headless chicken rushing in every clueless direction, European nations may find themselves comparably periled unless leadership reasserts itself - to steer the continent into greener pastures. Panel: - Jonathan Hessen: Host. - Gen. Klaus Naumann, Former Chief of General Staff of th...

Jonathan and Yair explain a key component to better understanding the news, and how different events in the region affect Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 24 New King James Version The King of Glory and His Kingdom A Psalm of David. 24 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the [a]...

Conflicting signals have been coming out of Vienna over the last couple of weeks, leading to the disappointing conclusion that a year into the administration of US President Joe Biden - who promised to undo Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran - the parties are closer to an agreement on a renewed formula but still have to bridge the gaps between them. Biden’s attention is...

Over the last few weeks, we have watched Iran practice an offensive military exercise focused against Israel. Iran fired rockets they claim can reach Israel and emphasized that Israel is the target. Yet as we speak, the diplomatic effort to arrive at an agreement with the Islamic regime of Iran about the nuclear issue is scheduled to continue in Vienna. What kind of concessions will be made to Ira...

One of the biggest challenges facing any country is to learn the lessons from past conflicts and implement these lessons to better face the next confrontation. In the Israeli reality it seems the next conflict is never too far away. It could be against Hamas terror from the south or Hezbollah terror from the north. We also are hearing as of late a growing clamor of voices about a possible direct v...

Please join host Amir Oren for the second of a two-part interview with IDF Maj. Gen.(res) Gershon Hacohen, who is known throughout the Israeli military community as uniquely thoughtful, articulate - and opinionated. As one of the first officers of a religious-upbringing to reach the top tier of the IDF, Hacohen served in the 1973 War first in the infantry and later in the armored units, while risi...

The Prophets are long gone from this city, and indeed from the entire ancient Kingdoms of Judea and Israel. We are left with mere mortals, trying to analyze actions and trends in order to predict at least the general outline of what may await us in 2022. We know that these programs are recorded for posterity, but we will nevertheless venture to offer our best fallible judgement. Panel: - Jonathan...

Jonathan and Amir read the Bible and discuss the importance of trusting in God’s perfect timing for everything that happens in our lives. Focusing on Zechariah 9, the two explore Biblical prophesies about the Messiah entering Jerusalem on a donkey.

This past year of 2021 will be marked in history as a year of transition; a year in which failed ‘policies of containment’ matured into ‘strategic competition’ – challenging a so-called “rules-based order” that developed over the years to ensure global stability. What could we, as Europeans, learn from this past year – at a time when both internal and external forces are engaged in a multilayered...

As the year 2021 draws to its close, we will try to look back it from our regional perspective, in an effort to highlight its more salient and perhaps enduring features. This has of course been the second consecutive year impacted by COVID-19, but the pandemic did not freeze military and political developments in the Middle East and around it. Panel: - Jonathan Hessen, Host. - Amir Oren, Editor at...
