With tensions concerning Iran at an all-time high I am playing a special briefing direct from Israel, featuring insight and analysis from Lt. Col. (Res.) Jonathan Conricus.

Jonathan Conricus is a senior fellow at FDD focused on the Middle East. He served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for 24 years as a combat commander in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. (0:38-34:55)

After the briefing coming from StandWithUs TV hosted by Michael Dickson I will be providing additional analysis from Gidi Grinstein.

Gidi Grin­stein is the Founder and Pres­i­dent of The Reut Insti­tute, a non-par­ti­san, non-prof­it pol­i­cy-group based in Tel-Aviv. Gidi served as the Sec­re­tary and Coor­di­na­tor of the Israeli nego­ti­a­tion team between Israel and the PLO in the Office and lat­er the Bureau of Prime Min­is­ter Ehud Barak (1999 – 2001).
