Dear MEPIN Readers,
I invite you to watch my in-depth interview on ILTV’s Security Brief with Calev Ben-David and Alec Pollard, where we examine the pressing strategic and diplomatic challenges facing Israel, including:
• Which nations are prepared to participate in an International Stabilization Force in Gaza and a proposed Board of Peace—and why their involvement could create significant new security and diplomatic complications for Israel.
• Why Prime Minister Netanyahu is likely to face intense pressure from President Trump during their December meeting in Washington to accept Turkish and Qatari demands that would bypass the next required phase of the 20-point plan to demilitarize and disarm Hamas.
• Why shifting focus away from Iran would be a serious mistake, as Tehran is rapidly rebuilding its ballistic missile program, posing the most immediate existential threat.
• The growing global threat of antisemitism and the increasingly precarious position of diaspora Jewish communities, including whether calls to “globalize the intifada” constitute hate speech, incitement to violence, or protected free speech.
And much more.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and continuing the discussion.
Best regards,— Eric
