How has the world been reduced to this?”
It’s a near total disconnect with the reality of the Gaza War.
The Ayatollah is prolifically tweeting including antisemitic tropes about Jews running the media. But does Iran have Israel where it wants them, in a cycle of “forever war”?
How must Israel change to get out of a perpetual state of war? Does it start with pushing Hezbollah back north of the Litani river?
Iran has enough material for 13 nuclear bombs. They haven’t got the bomb yet. But if not now when?
And as Norway, Spain and Ireland declare for Palestine, is this down the weakness in support for Israel by the Biden administration?
These are questions for Jonathan Conricus, now retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the IDF, nowadays with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, he focuses on the Middle East.
Jonathan enjoyed a distinguished career serving as a combat commander in Lebanon and Gaza, a military diplomat, a foreign relations expert, and an international spokesperson for the IDF.
Born in Jerusalem in 1979, Jonathan spent his early years in Malmo before his family moved back to Israel when he was 13. He joined the IDF at 18 and served for 24 years, retiring in 2021.
