Israel’s preparedness amid looming threats

Over the last two years, Israel’s primary concern was atypically not its preparedness to cope with security challenges but rather a unique mix of pandemic and politics. However, now that the COVID-19 crisis is seemingly on a steep downward curve and negotiations between potential coalition partners have shifted into a more practical mode following last month's elections, the focus will inevitably return to Israel’s unfinished business with its various enemies. Most prominently, those in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza and Syria. Has Israel kept in shape during this pause from perils, or has it lost its edge?

Guests Brigadier General (Res.) Yossi Kuperwasser – Project Director on Middle East Developments, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and also joining us from the Jerusalem area Prof. Efraim Inbar; President of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security.
