Russia-U.S. tensions in the Medeast theater; threat of escalation - Jerusalem Studio
August 01, 2023 18:15 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBWith the U.S. reducing its military presence in the Levant to a fraction compared to the massive footprint it had in the region during the campaigns in Iraq and against Daesh, and with Russia preoccupied with its failed war in Ukraine, it would seem unlikely that tensions between the two powers would rise here, away from the European Theatre of Operations. Yet this is what happened, when Russian pilots flew too close for comfort to American planes over Syria, and American patrols came under f...

July 04, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBWhen Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner militia crossed its “Rubicon” the Rostov-on-Don, all decision-makers and strategic planners in the Middle East braced for a face-off between the mercenaries’ employer and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

What are these lessons, and can anyone outside Russia do anything to avert the ...

June 30, 2023 18:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBUntil Russia invaded Ukraine 16 months ago, Europe was quite complacent regarding military threats to its nations, with particular focus on terror in its various manifestations at home and abroad. Sudden tank battles, air strikes and waging of fierce missiles and infantry fights in urban centers and rural terrain have now given rise to the demand for Israeli weapon systems and technology based on its proven strategic and operational experience. What are the defensive and offensive Israel...

June 27, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBEight years after six world powers struck the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to temporarily block Iran’s nuclear program in return for the removal of heavy economic sanctions, the United States and the Islamic Republic appear to be on the verge of adopting yet another arrangement aimed at resolving the same dispute.

Israel’s preparedness for a Multi-Sector War – Jerusalem Studio 781
June 23, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBThe State of Israel was almost extinguished at birth when invaded by all neighboring Arab countries, with only its Western boundary of the Mediterranean Sea free from threat. Even though it was soon established as a strong local power, Israel still feared division of precious assets by battle on several fronts – a dangerous and difficult situation witnessed when Egypt and Syria launched simultaneous offensives that sparked the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Peace with Egypt and Jordan rendered exact...
Infrastructure Sabotage - Could The Mideast Copy Europe? Jerusalem Studio 780
June 20, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBEarlier this month, a huge dam on the Dnipro River, in the Kherson region occupied by Russian forces in South-Eastern Ukraine, was blown up, flooding vast areas. Each side in the war predictably blamed the other, but the weight of motive and opportunity pointed to Russia, as it was in the process of hampering the imminent Ukrainian counteroffensive. While not unprecedented, such acts in war are rare, in modern times. Are they effective? Moral? Legal - could their perpetrators be tried as war...

June 18, 2023 18:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBThe fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic.

Nation-states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations.” Moreover, “the clash of civilizations...
TV7 Powers in Play – Ukraine’s “Israel Model, Non-NATO Assurances?
June 16, 2023 18:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MBOne motive of Russian President Vladimir Putin for his invasion of Ukraine has been Kiev’s wish to join NATO and place itself under its collective security umbrella. In a race of who would preempt whom, Putin beat Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy only to be bogged down in a war of attrition. The problem now is that there seems to be no possible compromise between the two positions. It’s either Ukraine in NATO, in which case the Alliance borders Russia in yet another painful place, or...

June 13, 2023 17:59 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBUS Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Saudi Arabia last week for three declared reasons: to make sure the anti-Islamic State coalition maintains its important function, confer with the Gulf Cooperation Council and to improve bilateral ties between Washington and Riyadh.

Iran’s nuclear progress, do political considerations threaten IAEA scrutiny? Jerusalem Studio 778
June 09, 2023 17:59 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) leaders, if not necessarily its member states, have in recent weeks adopted a conciliatory tone in public approach toward Iran. IAEA Director General Dr. Rafael Grossi has been going out of his way to accept Iran’s explanations of suspicious military nuclear activities as “plausible.” There is a questionable gap between Tehran's ongoing uranium enrichment vs. reactivation of international nuclear monitoring equipment – in which the host country is...

June 06, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBRecep Tayep Erdogan’s second round presidential election victory was neither a surprise nor a landslide. He was widely expected to win, yet almost half of the Turkish electorate showed its displeasure by voting for the opposition.

What courses is he going to chart for Türkiye, when he starts a term which may mark more than a quarter century in power for him? P...

Syria Back in The Arab Fold - Jerusalem Studio 776
June 02, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBIn the Middle East, as presumably almost anywhere else, nothing succeeds like success. Also, values have a very limited value. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad managed to survive very difficult years of civil war, in which he practically converted a lot of his nominal sovereignty to a free hand for his sponsors from Russia, Iran and Hezbollah. Regardless of the price he has paid, Assad is still standing - and has now been grudgingly accepted back into the fold of Arab rulers, from Egypt to ...
Israel’s Aerial Superiority - Jerusalem Studio 775
May 30, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBWhen combatants either cannot or would not use their ground maneuver forces in a military campaign - and artillery is forbidden if the mission against enemy targets isn’t possible if not pinpointed and the risk of collateral damage is too high - there is only one option for use by IDF General Staff, the Israeli Air Force (IAF). For offensive operations, the IAF has repeatedly proven itself as the go-to division of the military with use of fighter bombers, helicopters and unmanned aerial veh...

May 28, 2023 18:00 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MBWith global affairs increasingly framed by the American-Russian-Chinese triangle, Europe has to contend with the impact it has on its own identity, security architecture and policies. Is NATO still the basic political and military infrastructure for most of the continent, and if so - how does it relate to the war in Ukraine and ominous nature of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ideological outlook? What is the future of Europe’s relations with the Anglo-American alliance? How can the EU a...

Operation Shield & Arrow: Recap, Lessons learned – Jerusalem Studio 774
May 23, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBAfter five days of exchanging blows, Israel and the minor but well-equipped Gaza-based organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad stopped this particular round, another in a seemingly endless series. As expected, both sides issued self-serving claims of victory. Obviously, propaganda and politics aside, they each have different standards by which to measure their respective balances, as does the major force in Gaza, Hamas - but what are the more objective lessons learned from this confrontation...

May 16, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBIran’s President Ebrahim Raisi visited Damascus last week for talks with his counterpart Bashar Al-Assad. The main issues were economic, but the visit - the first since the Syrian civil war erupted a dozen years ago - also signaled Tehran’s growing influence over the Assad regime, secondary only to the Russian role in the war-torn country’s affairs. At the same time, Syrian and Iranian officials huddled with their Russian and Turkish colleagues, while moderate Arab nations met in Jordan to ...

Israel’s state of deterrence: Credible Military Threats vs. Adversaries – Jerusalem Studio 771
May 12, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBAs a nation whose defense doctrine was based on keeping the smallest possible regular military force backed by reserves to be mobilized in emergencies, Israel put a lot of stock in deterrence, hoping for wide intervals between wars. But deterrence has many levels and many target audiences, and Israel has in recent years struggled with updating and refining this notion as it confronts Palestinian terror, Hezbollah missiles and most especially the Iranian threat - both unconventional, convent...
Israel-US Naval Cooperation amid rising maritime tensions – Jerusalem Studio 770
May 09, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB"Binational boats beyond Bab-el-Mandeb:" This could be a fitting headline for a groundbreaking - or in this case perhaps sea-breaking - activity undertaken in March but revealed only about a week ago. The Israel Navy and the US Fifth Fleet linked up far away from Israel’s borders, more than 2,000 kilometers south of Eilat, as vessels of these friendly navies performed mutually beneficial duties in a key maritime front between Asia - or more to the point, Arabia - and the continent of Africa...

May 02, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBWhether you call it the Persian Gulf - as the Iranians see it from its Eastern Shore, or the Arabian Gulf from a Western perspective, its waters have always been tense.

But recently, calmer winds seem to be blowing in the Gulf, first with a Saudi-Iranian rapprochement helped by China, and now the resumption of r...

The United States was reluctant to take over as the leading Western power but had to fill in the emerging vacuum. Fast forward to the present and the American-Russian-Chinese...
Israel’s challenge of facing multi-sector threats – Jerusalem Studio 765
April 18, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBIt has become a cliché to claim that Israel is facing simultaneous threats from several quarters - within it, on its boundaries with adjacent entities and territories and outside it.

In recent weeks, however, different threats seemed to materialize day after day and even on the same day, as if orchestrated by one central headquarters. Is that the reality,...
