As for today's episode - I've been in Israel for the past couple of days, for my 4th visit here since 10/07. Something that has struck me in my conversations with Israelis is the degree to which a war with Hezbollah is not discussed in terms of IF, but rather in terms of WHEN. And as for the WHEN, some are suggesting quite soon. In fact, Defense Minister Gallant said that the goal should be that for those Israelis evacuated from the North, they should be back in their evacuated communities and homes in time for the next school year. This would put to the test the IDF’s capacity to fight a multi front war. In other words - while the IDF is getting closer to the point of defeating Hamas in Gaza - it might also be at the early stages of a war with Hezbollah.
To help us understand what’s going on here, our guest today is NADAV EYAL, who returns to the podcast. I sat down with him today in Tel Aviv. He is a columnist for Yediot. Eyal has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news.

Thank you Dan and Nadav for this in-depth analysis of the current situation.
How can the IDF possibly claim that the job in Gaza is nearly done and that they should prepare to leave. By all accounts they are still fighting in the north which was supposed to be secured and Yahya Sinwar and his zombies are still in place. Until this guy is gone no other Arab family or clan will dare assume a position of authority in Gaza. In any event one can only say that after 8 months the separation in Gaza is an unmitigated disaster.
Dan, I genuinely appreciate your efforts, but I have reservations about inviting Nadav Eyal as a 'journalist' due to his evident bias towards the Biden administration and the far left. Unfortunately, his credibility is often questionable, and he tends to present a distorted version of the reality in Israel. To enhance the diversity of perspectives on your weekly talk, I recommend considering other individuals. Eyal has gained a reputation as a conspiracist, as his reports frequently rely on anonymous sources and unverifiable claims. During his conversation with you and in previous discussions, he heavily relies on these dubious sources to support his arguments. It is clear to me that you grasp this underlying issue, and it would be beneficial for you to acknowledge that Eyal has spent several years working for a far-left media outlet overseas, consistently manipulating his journalistic approach. The era of Israeli reporters seemingly aligned with the White House is gradually drawing to a close, and it is my hope that you will address this matter transparently.
