Defense Matters, Episode 9 | Israel: New government, same old challenges By Aron Heller | Defense Matters Podcast, Wednesday, 14 Dec 2022

Episode 9 of “Defense Matters” tackles the new Israeli government. Host Aron Heller speaks with Eitan Dangot, retired IDF general, former Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, and currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Jerusalem Institute of Strategy and Security. They discuss the strength of Israel’s defense structure and the new Israeli government, including the expected new Defense Minister Yoav Galant.  They review how the new government will impact the state’s response to terror attacks, the relationship with its Palestinian neighbors and potentially affect the ever-strengthening Abraham Accords. In our Gamechanger segment, Heller talks to Gideon Fostick, Director of Marketing and Business Development for the Intelligence, Communications and EW Division at ELTA. Fostick speaks about the electromagnetic spectrum, why jamming is vital in today’s battlefield, and introduces IAI’s new jamming system called Scorpius G, which adds another layer to kinetic defenses.
