BRIEFING: THE TWO-STATE DELUSION
17 september 2026 · 11 min
In this briefing I respond to the unrelenting promotion of what I call the "two-state delusion" by the British government and several of its international allies. Lees meer
I challenge proponents of the moribund two-state "solution" in several ways.
Poses Four Direct Questions For Them To Answer: Via these I challenge the blatant impracticability, security liabilities, and sheer hypocrisy of the land-for-peace fantasy.
Western Appeasement: I outline the pandering of international leaders to their domestic agitators by punishing the State of Israel.
People In Glass Houses: With calls from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to cede from union, I suggest Britains's leadership would do better to get their own house in order before voicing their unwanted counsel to Israel.

BRIEFING: DISARMING HAMAS & ACRONYMS WITHOUT MEANING
4 augustus 2026 · 55 min
In this lively situational briefing, I sit down with John Spencer, Senior Analyst at The MirYam Institute. Lees meer
Returning from fact-finding trips to Gaza and southern Lebanon, John outlines his reasons for optimism and for concern regarding the "Board of Peace" proposal for Hamas disarmament, highlighting the importance of US verification, civil governance, and phased decommissioning.
I counter with resolute pushback rooted in Israeli security realities and priorities —dismissing unproven acronyms, rejecting Palestinian statehood, and arguing against the fallacy of Jihadist groups disarming.

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.

BRIEFING: ISRAEL’S NEW REGIONAL EQUATION
9 juni 2026 · 13 min
In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin, analyzes the highly dramatic events of the past 24 hours in the Middle East. Lees meer
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.

SITUATIONAL BRIEFING: ISRAEL’S MILITARY TRIUMPH VS. NARRATIVE DEFEAT
14 mei 2026 · 26 min
In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin, In-House Analyst at The MirYam Institute, explains the paradox of Israel’s growing strategic strength amidst a deteriorating global information war. Lees meer
Over the past 30 months, Israel has achieved historic strategic victories, working with the U.S. to systematically decimate the Iranian axis—including its nuclear programs, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
By operationalizing new defense alliances, Israel now serves as a regional "insurance policy" for Gulf states against Iranian fundamentalism.
However, Israel is simultaneously losing the global information battle because jihadist adversaries deliberately embed their rocket launchers and invasion bases inside hospitals, schools, and residential areas to manipulate the international narrative.

SITUATIONAL BRIEFING: IS ISRAEL SAFER TODAY?
21 april 2026 · 41 min
In this situational briefing, I sit down with John Spencer, Senior Analyst at The MirYam Institute. Recorded on April 21, 2026, as Israel celebrates its Independence Day, we examine whether the nation is strategically safer today than it was before October 7, 2023. Lees meer

Replacing "rocket diplomacy" and containment with a decisive offensive doctrine.
Dismantling the Iranian "ring of fire" and degrading proxies on every front.
Achieving "peer contributor" status through deep integration with the U.S. military.
Isolating Hamas by destroying all strategic tunnels along the Egyptian border.
Significantly rolling back Iran's nuclear program and missile manufacturing capacity.

I explore how this rhetoric blends religion, economics, politics, and nationality to target Israel and Jewish Americans, and why it poses a serious threat to U.S.-Israel relations if left unchecked.

Time to Act: The Propaganda War on Israel | The Iranian Threat
5 juni 2025 · 27 min
In this solo podcast, MirYam Institute in-house analyst Yaakov Lappin explores why, as Israel approaches strategic decisive outcomes in Gaza, the propaganda war against it grows louder. Lees meer
He also looks at the highly dramatic impasse that nuclear talks with Iran have reached, and how President Trump might respond when he concludes that the art of the deal does not apply to the jihadist regime in Tehran.
Yaakov examines why encouraging the collapse of the Iranian regime should be the real end goal, and why actions are more important than words when it comes to Syria.

Breaking Hamas. Aid Advances. The Iranian Trap.
27 mei 2025 · 31 min
In this solo episode, MirYam Institute analyst Yaakov Lappin explores why the launch of a Hamas-free aid distribution program in Gaza marks a pivotal new phase in the war. The initiative aims to dismantle Hamas’s military and political control simultaneously. Lees meer
Lappin discusses how Israel, working with an American private security firm, is now managing aid distribution—fundamentally shifting power dynamics on the ground. He also details the coordinated advances of five IDF divisions across Gaza.
Turning east, Lappin examines why time is running out on Iran’s accelerating nuclear program, as Tehran seeks to corner the Trump administration in a high-stakes diplomatic trap.

HEROES OF ISRAEL VS. (DOMESTIC) DISGRACES
21 mei 2025 · 1 uur 12 min
In this episode of the show, Yaakov Lappin and I analyze the IDF’s military buildup and operations inside the Gaza Strip, before we voice our very clear opinions on, and level our condemnation toward, recent statements made by former Deputy Chief Of Staff of the IDF and leader of the “HA-DEMOCRATIM” political party, Major General (Res.) Yair Golan. Lees meer
Golan made wholly unacceptable, baseless and false remarks against the members of the IDF in a tirade that would normally be the preserve of enemies of the State of Israel.
We also analyze the recent address made by the current IDF Chief Of Staff; a man who thankfully exhibits none of the moral delirium of Yair Golan.
