Israel’s two Palestinian fronts - at its center in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and in the southwest with Gaza - have been relatively quiet over the last two weeks, save for the occasional terror attack or incident. Danger seems to lurk in the north - including in Syria, where Iran proactively seeks to entrench militarily, and Lebanon where the Iranian-proxy Hezbollah is determined to claim its po...

Please join host Amir Oren for the first of a two-part interview with Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Dr. Ephraim Lapid, who has spent decades on several sides of the quest for defense information. His early career brought him up the ranks of the IDF Intelligence Corps on collection and production assignments. Lapid was appointed to senior positions in the Israel National Sigint Unit 8200, and later the command...

The haggling over the revival of the dormant JCPOA is over, at least according to the Biden administration. For the last five months, a formula has been on the table at the Vienna Talks, and it is time for political decisions in Tehran and Washington. The Khomeini regime may wish to wait a little longer for the mid-term elections in the United States to make sure that Joe Biden is strong enough to...

The recent focus on Russia’s war against Ukraine and China’s militant move against a perceived threat to the status quo in Taiwan reflect a reality envisioned several years ago in American defense planning - the world has reverted to a game of nations. States and governments, not movements and organizations, operate and interact. This is why the recent targeted killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman a-Z...

Plagued by political instability from London all-the-way to Rome; European capitals are struggling to keep-up with an ever-changing reality – in which a growing list of global and intra-European woes are seemingly too much to bear. Indeed - Not far from the very studio we are currently occupying in Helsinki; Finnish President Sauli Niinisto voiced the alarm, saying “we have long been accustomed to...

Decision making in global affairs: When a Putin, a Xi or an Erdogan finishes his deliberations and decides on a policy move, it is executed with success dependent on the amount of friction with other world actors. But when a Biden wants something done, or not (as was the case with the Pelosi trip to Taiwan), he finds that Congress is indeed a co-equal branch of government. He knew it, of course, w...

The movie “Iran’s progress towards nuclear weapons” is seemingly being shot in slow motion. Rather than a mad dash to the finish line, which could immediately also turn out to be the finish line for Iran’s nuclear project because it will be struck by countries or alliances opposed to it, the Iranians are deliberately crawling - indicating that they want a return to the 2015 nuclear deal with world...

Jonathan and Yair are back for another TV7 Israel News season and there is quite a lot to discuss. Today they will explain the influence the Muslim Brotherhood organization has on countries around the world. Other topics include how every move made by the international community is connected and impacts the peace of Jerusalem. Please pray for our upcoming programming and our staff here in Jerusale...

Please join host Amir Oren for the second of a two-part interview with Amb. Reuven Merhav. Merhav has literally been all over the world on behalf of the Israeli government, serving in Ethiopia, Kenya, Lebanon and Hong Kong, having the unique experience of seeing half-dozen national security organizations from within. As a soldier, he fought in the most elite unit of his time, the Paratroop Reconna...

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s trip to Tehran last month was not aimed at getting concrete and immediate results. It was unrealistic to expect Putin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and their host, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to settle all of their differences on various issues, such as the situation in Syria. The intention was obviously to show the West, following U.S. President Jo...

Israel’s northern frontier with Lebanon has been mostly quiet for the last 16 years, with periods of tension although not of escalation. There is no symmetry between Jerusalem and Beirut, as one side has a government and military while the other is dominated by an organization, Hezbollah, whose very existence is predicated on continued “resistance.” But what is there to resist now, with Lebanon mi...

Please join us for discussion on the latest developments concerning Iran’s atomic aspirations, and whether there will be a nuclear race in the Middle East.

Danny Ayalon, Israel's Former Ambassador to the United States, Deputy Forei...

Please join host Amir Oren for the second of a two-part interview with distinguished Israeli diplomat Itzhak “Izik” Levanon. Born in Beirut to the Cohen family, he decided to adopt a more Israeli name after immigrating to Israel. He naturally chose “Levanon,” which is the Hebrew version of Lebanon. Levanon came to Israel following the release of his mother Shulamit Cohen Kishik from a Lebanese pri...

While the United States has always seen itself as both a Pacific and Atlantic power, when it had to set a priority it chose the defeat of Germany over Japan in spite of the attack at Pearl Harbor rather than the Manhattan Piers. This perspective seems to be changing despite attention on Europe and Russia with residual concern over Middle East issues from Israel to Iran, as Asia becomes the focus o...

With less than 100 days to go before its general election, Israel is facing military and security challenges which refuse to wait until the voters have their say and the new Knesset comes up with a coalition government - or gives up and calls for yet another round. With Palestinian disappointment at lack of progress following the visit of U-S President Joe Biden to the region, Iran steadily gainin...

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman went on a tour of Mideast capitals late last month, renewing his contacts with the leaders of Egypt, Jordan and Turkey. MBS, as he is known, was a favorite of the Trump administration, but was subsequently shunned by the Biden team – which frequently waves the flag of human rights as a pillar of the Administration’s foreign policy – so-long as it conforms wit...
