- Since October 7, Israel's defense R&D directorate has pushed weapons from concept to combat in weeks, and now works with more than 300 startups. Col. Yishai Cohen explains how.
In this episode of Defense & Tech by The Jerusalem Post, Anna Ahronheim sits down with Col. Yishai Cohen, a senior official at MAFAT, Israel's Directorate of Defense Research and Development, for a rare look inside the organization that decides which technologies reach Israeli soldiers, and how fast. Cohen describes software fixes pushed to live weapon systems within days of October 7, capabilities against Iran that spent two decades in development before being fired for the first time, and others assembled in the final weeks before the fighting began. On Iran's long-range drone campaign, he is blunt: more than 1,500 fixed-wing UAVs were launched at Israel, and he says only two hits were recorded. "Low tech works," he says of the improvised fishing nets soldiers used against short-range drones, a re...

In this interview with Jerusalem Post senior military analyst Yonah Jeremy Bob, Menashri describes the demonstration that changed the Israeli government's mind: a tiny Trojan, downloaded off the internet, that he says could have produced damage "very similar to Hiroshima" and killed much of the population around the Haifa Bay.
He walks through exactly how code kills people, manipulating SCADA sensors on a gas pipeline until pressure hits a lethal number, or attacking a rail signaling system so a chemical train derails in central Tel Aviv.

- Israel is still the world's cyber powerhouse, and European buyers separate politics from procurement, Planven Managing Partner Eran Westman explains why.
Westman splits his time between Zurich and Tel Aviv running a fund he calls "dual citizenship." He pushes back on the idea that Israeli tech has become hard to sell in Europe: buyers "know to distinguish between geopolitical or political views and choosing the best technology."
The real problem, he argues, is that Israeli founders treat Europe as a second market and arrive too late. He also explains why "I'll do Europe" fails the same way "I'll do Asia" always did, and tells the story behind Nozomi Networks' billionaire sale to Mitsubishi Electric.

- Israel's most turbulent political stretch in four years just collided with an election date. As Netanyahu's Likud rams through two of the most contentious laws in the country's history, host Jacob Laznik breaks down what it means.
With the vote set for October 27, the coalition has unleashed a legislative blitz, succeeding where it matters most, on the haredi draft exemptions, over the public warnings of senior officials and the IDF chief of staff himself. Laznik and the Post's breaking-news desk manager, Shir Perets, unpack why these laws challenge Israel's constitutional order, and why they land at Netanyahu's most vulnerable moment
The fallout is already visible: Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel has resigned, and Minister Ofir Sofer says he won't run again.

Elisha Wiesel, chairman of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, former Goldman Sachs executive, and the only child of the Nobel laureate, sat down with Lara Sukster Mosheyof at Yad Vashem, hours before delivering a speech built as a point-by-point refutation of Rahm Emanuel's July 8 address at Tel Aviv University. Emanuel, a likely 2028 Democratic candidate, warned Israelis they "cannot fight indefinitely against a world that has stopped believing you have the right to fight." Wiesel's answer is blunt: "Mr. Emanuel is embarrassed by Israel. He is proud of that embarrassment. He should be ashamed." For Wiesel, the premise itself is the problem — his father's moral vision, he argues, held that no Jewish right to live was ever conditional on the world's approval.
The conversation ranges far beyond the political moment. Wiesel describes the bl...

With the Iran ceasefire fraying, Gaza stalled and Hamas still armed, she argues the loss is less about policy than about a vanishing kind of politician: "He didn't speak in two different languages, one publicly and one behind the scenes."

In this conversation with The Jerusalem Post's Jacob Laznik, Horvitz breaks with the alarmist consensus taking hold among Israeli decision-makers. He argues that Ankara "is not Abu Dhabi, but not Tehran either", a pragmatic actor Washington and Jerusalem still have real leverage over, from NATO corridors to the quiet air-force deconfliction seen over Syria. On the F-35 fight, he notes that Israeli officials themselves frame the sale as "very bad, but not a disaster," and warns against turning a manageable disagreement into a public rupture with Israel's indispensable ally.

- Jailed for 804 days in Iran on false spying charges, academic Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert refused the Revolutionary Guard's offer of freedom, if she'd spy for them.
In this Jerusalem Post interview, Moore-Gilbert describes surviving IRGC detention and Iran's public prison system, being stripped of her identity down to a number, and holding on to who she was as an act of defiance: "I just didn't break." She explains how the Guards blackmail and recruit prisoners, why she insists ordinary Iranians are nothing like the regime that rules them, and where she believes the country goes from here.
A Middle East scholar and author of the memoir The Uncaged Sky, Moore-Gilbert is now one of the most prominent voices against "hostage diplomacy." Her read on the current moment is bleak, "the regime thinks that it won", and she warns the West against easing the economic pressure she sees as the regime's greatest vulnerability. Her message to Iranian women right now is sombre: l...

- Description
- Presidential historian Gil Troy returns to examine the aftermath of the Israel-Iran conflict, Donald Trump’s decision to end the fighting, Iran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and the uncertain future of the US-Israel relationship.
In this hopeful conversation with host Jacob Laznik, Gil explains why declaring victory or defeat may be premature. He discusses Israel and America’s military achievements, the lack of a clearly defined endgame, concerns surrounding negotiations with Iran and the political pressures that could shape Trump’s next move.
The conversation also explores growing anti-Israel sentiment in American politics, misconceptions surrounding US support for Israel and why Gil describes Israel as America’s “DIY and ROI ally.”
