SUMMARY:Brigadier General Amir Avivi (Res.) and Creative Solutions to the Palestinian Conflict
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nFor decades\, the same old\, failed paradigm of “land for peace” has been offered to the Palestinians. We have seen that every piece of Israeli land ceded to the Palestinians has been used as a launching pad for further attacks against Israelis\, Jews\, and foreigners. It is time for some new\, strategic thinking. We are delighted that President Trump has dismantled the conventional foreign policy establishment’s thinking and is opening the door to some new “out of the box” formulations. Brigadier General Avivi has come up with some creative solutions to ensure that Israel and her neighbors can survive and thrive for generations to come. \nSarah Stern will be interviewing Brigadier-General Amir Avivi\, Chairman and Founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF) on March 12\, 2025 at 10 a.m. Israel time. This event will be pre-recorded\, and brought to you at 12 noon on Wednesday\, March 12th\, 9 a.m. Pacific time\, and 7 p.m. Israel time. \nAbout our Speaker: Brig. Gen. (Res.) Amir Avivi is the founder and chairman of IDSF. \nDuring his service\, Amir held a series of senior roles in the IDF\, including Deputy Comptroller of the Security Forces\, Director of the Office of the Chief of Staff\, Deputy Commander of the Gaza Division\, Commander of the Sagi Division\, Commander of Batallion 605 and Commander of the School of Combat Engineering. \nIDSF represents a group of 35\,000 reserve officers and operatives from all branches of the Israeli security forces dedicated to guiding the narrative of Israel’s national security needs and ensuring that Israel’s security in the homeland of the Jewish people is never taken for granted. \nAt the core of IDSF lies the belief that Israel’s security must be anchored in its ability to protect itself\, by itself\, while actively thwarting threats to its safety. The authoritative voices of well-known military veterans\, media personalities and national security experts\, are key in disseminating our security strategy for the State of Israel.

SUMMARY:Battleground Israel - Domestic troubles & the renewed fight against Iran's terror proxies
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \nTo the average viewer\, the Middle East is now at a very serious juncture. On October 19\, 2023\, the Yeminis Houthis began to strike ships in the Red Sea\, and on December  4\, 2023\, they began to strike commercial shipping lanes in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait of the Gulf of Eden\, striking United States warships over 170 times. They have also re-initiated launching missiles at Israel. The United States\, under President Trump\, had decided to strike back with “overwhelming lethal force.” \nAfter failing to respond to the next stage of negotiations offered by President Trump’s envoy\,  Steve Witkoff\, including the failure to release the American hostage\, Eden Alexander\, (along with the remaining live and dead hostages)\, the  Israelis have initiated renewed strikes on Hamas in Gaza. Was there something else Israeli military intelligence knew to cause it to strike at Gaza now\, or has Israel finally reached a limit in allowing Gaza to be governed by Hamas? And is  Israel’s plan now to give up on the remaining 60 or so hostages languishing in Hamas’ terror tunnels? \nWhat is Trump’s response to the Arab plan initiated in Cairo? \nWhat about Hezbollah on the northern front? Will they hold their fire\, as the Israeli military is being occupied in Gaza? What is happening in Judea and Samaria? How is Israel responding to Ahmed al Sharaa and  the Hyatt Tahrir al Shams takeover of Syria? \nWhat is happening with judicial reform? Why is the Shin Bet Chief\, Ronen Bar\, being fired? Is there an internal Israeli progressive attempt to undermine the Trump-Netanyahu relationship? \nMost importantly: What is happening on the Iranian nuclear front? Will the United States finally assist Israel in removing this threat? \nAnd finally: How is the Trump era of foreign policy different from those of his predecessors? What are realistic diplomatic and strategic goals for Israel to set in the era of Donald Trump? \nHere to answer these questions and more is Alex Traiman\, CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief of the Jewish News Syndicate. \nAbout our speaker: Alex Traiman is CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief of the Jewish News Syndicate. A veteran Israeli journalist\, radio-show host\, documentary filmmaker and startup consultant\, he writes on Israeli politics and U.S.-Israel relations. He has conducted one-on-one interviews with Israeli officials\, among them Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\, whose recent speech to a joint session Congress he attended and covered. Other key figures include members of the Knesset\, government and War Cabinet. He has also interviewed U.S. senators\, congressmen\, ambassadors\, former CIA heads and national security advisers. He interviewed then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on an official visit to Jerusalem. He has appeared on the BBC\, Bloomberg\, CBS\, NBC\, FOX\, News Nation and Newsmax\, and is a frequent guest on WABC and CBS radio.
