It’s tense. You can feel it. The air is thick—like you could cut it with a knife in the darkness of night. It feels like the calm before the storm.

Shalom from the beautiful—and windy—Sea of Galilee!
Today, instead of my usual update from the front lines, I’ll be joined live on my weekly podcast by Prof. Dr. Mordechai Kedar.
Professor Dr. Kedar is a Middle East analyst like no other—arguably one of the foremost voices on Iran today. 
He is multi-lingual, and besides Hebrew and English and a few others he also understands Persian (Farsi) – the language of Iran.


Things are not slowing down here. The US has confirmed advanced military plans against Iran, and regional forces—including Israel—are preparing. It’s very tense, palpable, tangible; you can taste the tension in the air.

As we’re there in the mud and cold of Gaza, it’s clear there is no other option than expanding the fight beyond simply dismantling tunnels. These Palestinian militant terrorists refuse to disarm. They are regrouping, rearming, and rebuilding. When we block one tunnel, they dig another entrance. Their goal remains the same: to advance their terrorist, jihadist agenda.
