Upheaval in Mossad Firings, and in Netanyahu-Trump Relationship: Yossi Melman and Nathan Guttman
Aug 8, 202630 minS7
The director of the Mossad, General Roman Gofman -- two months after taking over the spy agency -- has followed-up his firing of the deputy director with two new ousters: a man and a woman who were very senior in spying on Iran and interpreting all the data from there. Dan's longtime co-author (on 6 books), Yossi Melman, helps us interpret the firings within the Mossad. Dan's guest, Nathan Guttman, adds that it appears Prime Minister Netanyahu is recognizing the failure of the plan -- linked with the Israel-U.S. war against Iran that began February 28 -- to topple Iran's regime. Nathan Guttman also analyzes the Michigan primary results, which was a significant win for an anti-Israel Democrat, and the broader challenges facing Israel-U.S. relations -- including how to define antiSemitism. Nathan Guttman is the Washington correspondent for Kan, Israel's public broadcasting network; and he writes a column on Jewish power and politics for MomentMag.com, the website of Moment Magazine.

Trump's Gaza "Deal," His Chat with Netanyahu, and Harlan Ullman on U.S. Mistakes
Jul 31, 202630 minS7
In an action-packed audio half-hour, Dan analyzes Donald Trump's claim of a breakthrough on Gaza -- and we hear a Palestinian-American who claims to know Hamas well say that the group really is willing to disarm, to stop Israel's targeted assassinations! Also -- various angles on the Trump-Netanyahu summit at the White House, where the men didn't appear together, but perhaps they were plotting something big. We hear them, and also Israel's opposition leader Yair Lapid in Washington, saying the decline in U.S. public support for Israel can be "reversed." And Harlan Ullman -- U.S. Navy veteran and strategic advisor to governments and corporations -- famous for the "Shock and Awe" strategy of launching a war -- tells Dan that the U.S. seems headed for failure in the Iran conflict. Pressed by Dan, Harlan Ullman casts doubt on U.S. willingness to cooperate with Israel's military and intelligence in the future.

Top 10 Ways a Netanyahu Loss Could Change Israel's Policies and Image -- Nimrod Novik
Jul 25, 202630 minS7
Longtime Israeli official and diplomat Nimrod Novik -- a senior advisor to the late prime minister Shimon Peres -- tells Dan he sees major changes ahead in Israel, if any combination of the five political party leaders running against Benjamin Netanyahu are successful. Israel's election will be held October 27. Novik believes steps would be taken toward creative diplomacy -- rather than the use of force to solve Israel's challenges. He explains a credible investigation of the failures of Oct. 7, 2023, would likely occur. The abusive violence by Jewish settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank might be curbed, and the IDF might be pulled out of Syria and Lebanon (where Netanyahu boasts that Israel has "security belts" inside the neighboring countries' territories). Important for West Bank stability -- and also for pressing ahead with "Trump's 20 Points" plan for Gaza -- Novik says a new leader would likely try to work with the Palestinian Authority, however flawed the P.A. is, in order to weaken the murderous Hamas faction. You'll also hear Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as Dan analyzes the U.S. administration's stand on continuing to bomb Iran, and on the nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia that might be heading nowhere.

Mossad's Tactical Wins, but Does Israel Have an Iran Strategy? Does Trump? CIA Veteran Polymeropoulos
Jul 17, 202630 minS7
Dan examines new information on the Mossad's efforts to recruit a hostile former Iranian president -- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- as an agent for Israel. Mossad veterans have said they make the "impossible" possible. But really? A former head of research in the Mossad, Sima Shine, speaks about the Ahmadinejad caper -- a brief excerpt from The Telegraph's video podcast hosted by Roland Oliphant. Then Dan drills down mow deeply with a 29-year veteran of the CIA -- Marc Polymeropoulos: trying to explain Donald Trump's constantly changing goals and methods in the Iran war ... analyzing Mossad strategies, based on his experience working with the Israelis ... and wondering how much of a change in strategy may emerge if Prime Minister Netanyahu loses the October 27 election in Israel. Also: J.D. Vance. America's vice president is sending our some mightily unfriendly vibes toward Israel -- and the Mossad. You'll hear Vance excerpts from the Joe Rogan Experience. This is the 76th weekly episode of The Mossad Files. Search on YouTube for video extras. Please comment on X at @danraviv. Also on BlueSky, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
