HOUSEKEEPING NOTE:
I’m pleased to announce a major live recording of Call Me Back in New York City on September 24th. The event will be held at the Streicker Center, co-sponsored by UJA Federation of NY, and my guest will be Amir Tibon on the official launch date of his book The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands.
In his new book, Amir tells the gripping story of the Tibon family’s ordeal at Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7 and the heroic rescue by Amir’s father, retired General Noam Tibon. Woven throughout the book is Amir’s own expertise as a longtime journalist in Israel and in Washington, the history of Kibbutz Nahal Oz, and the conflict between Israel and Gaza.
The story has previously been featured on 60 Minutes and it is also being developed in a feature film by Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz.
We are excited to bring this program - with our partners at The Streicker Center and UJA Federation of NY - to the Call Me Back audience. To register, please go to streicker.nyc/events/tibon-senor
TODAY’S EPISODE:
Tensions have been high in Israel over the past week, as Israelis brace for a response from Iran and Hezbollah, following last week’s assassinations of Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and Fuad Shukr in Lebanon.
This attack was anticipated to have already taken place, and may happen at any moment.
To help us understand the extent to which Israel and the U.S. have prepared for this new phase, we are joined by Nadav Eyal and Matt Levitt.
Nadav Eyal is a columnist for Yediot. He has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news.
Dr. Matthew Levitt is the director of the Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He served as deputy assistant secretary for intelligence and analysis at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. During his tenure at Treasury, he played a central role in efforts to protect the U.S. financial system from abuse and to deny terrorists, weapons proliferators, and other rogue actors the ability to finance threats to U.S. national security. He later served as a counterterrorism advisor to the special envoy for Middle East regional security. Previously, Matt was a counterterrorism intelligence analyst at the FBI, where he provided tactical and strategic analytical support for counterterrorism operations, focusing on fundraising and logistical support networks for Middle Eastern terrorist groups. He is the author of several books and monographs, including Hamas: Politics, Charity and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad (Yale University Press, 2006), and Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon's Party of God (Georgetown University Press, 2013). He is the host of the podcast series, Breaking Hezbollah's Golden Rule.

Great conversation thanks for your work
Matt says he’s not political…. Yet given the opportunity he laid his partisan thoughts right out on the table.
I don't see his comments as political. He is assessing realities with a cold eye.
I've never understood the idea of waiting till Iran is "just about" nuclear. And I doubt the US will ever do anything about it. So...
Perhaps this awful situation will lead Israel to become independent from the US
I agree with Dan almost 100 percent of time but think Harris is art not to get into full explanation of her views till after the convention.
she "identifies" as black because there are votes for it. And blacks identify with Palestinians and have a long history of jealousy of and antipathy towards Jews.
Israel didn't have to ask for a green light in 1967. Now they have put themselves in a situation where they have to ask an anti semitic amd anti Israel American administration for a green ligh :(😅😢😢
Israel can't afford to wait for Biden to grow a backbone. Waiting is what got them into the situation they're in now.
Kamala is a blank slate on everything!
Or November
Eyal talks too much. Jeez let the other guy talk.
