Dr. Mandel in Conversation with Former 8200 Commander Hanan Gefen.

Dear MEPIN Readers,

In my conversation with Brig. Gen. (res.) Hanan Gefen, former commander of the IDF’s elite 8200 Intelligence Unit, we examine if the Middle East is entering the calm before the storm and discuss:

  • The Houthis Strike in Saudi Arabia: What does it mean for the US, Israel, and the region?
  • The Mecca Accords: Are the Saudis, Turks, and Pakistanis’ new strategic alliance significant, and who is the real target?
  • Iran: Is a major escalation waiting in the wings?
  • Hamas & Hezbollah: Deterred or simply waiting for their moment?

The Middle East may look quiet. But is something much bigger building beneath the surface?
