SUMMARY:Alex Traiman and the Cost Benefit Analysis of the War with Iran
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nSince the 12 Day War with Iran has paused with a ceasefire many questions have evolved regarding the success of the war. Why is Khameini still in power? What has happened to the stockpiles of highly enriched uranium? How long will it take for the regime to rebuild its nuclear weapons facilities? What has happened to the resistance movement within Iran? How does this leave Israel and the United States\, in terms of their ability to project power into the Middle East? What has happened to the Qassam Solomeini doctrine of the terror proxies\, or “rings of fire” surrounding Israel? \nHere to discuss this all is Alex Traiman. \nAbout our Speaker: Alex Traiman is the CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief of the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) and host of “Jerusalem Minute.” A seasoned Israeli journalist\, documentary filmmaker and startup consultant\, he is an expert on Israeli politics and U.S.-Israel relations. He has interviewed top political figures\, including  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\, most Israeli leaders\, U.S. senators and national security officials with insights featured on major networks like BBC\, Bloomberg\, CBS\, NBC\, Fox and Newsmax.

SUMMARY:Brigadier General Amir Avivi and What Was Accomplished by the War with Iran
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here.  \n  \nWhat was accomplished during the 12-day war with Iran\, and how far back have the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions been set? What is on the agenda between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald J. Trump? Will Hamas return the hostages for a 60-day period of calm? With Hamas’ losses within Gaza\, can we really expect to see a new sort of political framework within Gaza? What are the lessons learned from October 7th? \nHere to answer these questions and more is Brigadier General Amir Avivi. \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.

SUMMARY:How Worried Should We Be about What Has Been Left in Iran?
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here. \n  \nThere have been various reports\, coming out of Israel and the United States\, about what has been left in the Islamic Republic of Iran since the 12-day war of last June. There are differing opinions about how much of Fordow\, Natanz and Isfahan remain. However\, the most troubling report is that  there still exists 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium or 882 lbs\, of UF 6-or uranium hexafluoride\, composed of 60 per cent highly enriched uranium\, enough to make 8 to 10 nuclear bombs. Have the joint forces of Israel and the United States actually finished the job?  Are the ayatollahs determined to finish the job? Will President Trump make good on his promise to devastate the Iranian nuclear facilities if they are to become functional again\, and do we have the “eyes and ears” to be able to make an accurate determination. \nHere to answer these questions and more is the award wining investigative journalist\, Edwin Black. \nAbout Our Speaker: Edwin Black is the award-winning\, New York Times-bestselling author of “IBM and the Holocaust” and the just-released scoop volume “Israel Strikes Iran: Operation Rising Lion — The 20-Year Backstory\,” which can be found at IsraelStrikes.com.

SUMMARY:Hazem Alghabra and the Fate of Religious and Ethnic Minorities in Syria
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe transcript will be available here \n  \nIn December of 2024\, many people were somewhat relieved that after the 50 year reign of the Alawite family of Hafez and Bashir-al-Assad\, their time at the helm in Syria was coming to a close. The benefit was that manpower and weapons would no longer be smuggled from Tehran\, through Baghdad\, Damascus and ultimately to Hezbollah forces in Beirut\, and throughout Lebanon. \nA new man has emerged\, Ahmed al-Sharaa\, (a.k.a. Abu-Mohammad al-Julani)\, who took control of Syria. Many had erroneously assumed he would be a more moderate force for Syria. However\, last week\, we saw the horrific images from the Druze city of Sweida of women being captured as sex-slaves and raped\, children being kidnapped and murdered\, as well as the wholesale humiliation and slaughter of many men\, women and children. For days\, clashes raged between Druze and local Bedouin forces\, immediately joined by Syrian government forces. More than 1100 people have been killed. \nThroughout this\, we saw over 1\,000 Israeli Druze cross the border fence to enter their Druze brethren in Syria. \nOnly one nation in the world came to their aid\, the state of Israel. \nAs I write this\, Israel is now in talks with Syria. First\, however\, there should be certain benchmarks ascertained: What sort of protections will there be for the Druze community\, the Kurds\, the Christians and the Alawites? How secure will the border be for Israel? Will Israel be able to keep control of its buffer zone to prevent hostile forces from encroaching upon Israel? Will Israel be able to maintain its control of the 10 military bases in southern Syria since the Assad regime fell? \nAbout Our Speaker: Hazem Alghabra\, born in Damascus Syria\, is the founder and president of Frontiers Consultants\, a Washington DC-based consultancy firm that provides public relations and crisis management solutions with a focus on the Middle East and the United States. Prior to starting his firm\, Alghabra held multiple positions with the U.S. Department of State including senior advisor for public affairs at the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. Alghabra provides daily insight and analysis as a commentator on a vast array of television stations including i24\, Keshet\, Alarabyia\, Sky News\, BBC\, and Alsharq-Bloomberg.
