The Benjamin Anthony Show from 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. This is coupled with a written alert from the IDF Chief of Staff warning of the dangers of any legislation that seeks to exempt the ultra-religious from military service.

In this situational briefing, John Spencer, Senior Analyst at The Miryam Institute, critiques the 14-point US-Iran MOU, arguing the diplomatic pivot squanders critical military leverage. 
He also breaks down Israel's defensive operations in southern Lebanon, explaining why regional appeasement has completely failed.

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.

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.

In this situational briefing, I sit down with John Spencer, Senior Analyst at The MirYam Institute. 
We analyze recent US naval engagements in the Strait of Hormuz amid the Operation Epic Fury ceasefire, the shifting military dynamics involving Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the broader geopolitical pressures surrounding Iran's nuclear program.  
Finally, we debate Gaza's strategic future, contrasting a proposed population relocation to the Sinai Peninsula with the absolute isolation and demilitarization of Hamas.
