Welcome to my site!
Here’s a little info about me.
I’m a military and strategic affairs analyst.
My areas of coverage are usually focused on Israel’s defense establishment, and the country’s strategic environment.
I’m an Associate Researcher at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, and the Israel correspondent for Jane’s Defense Weekly and the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS.org).
I’m a regular guest commentator on international TV and radio outlets, including Sky News, BBC World Service, and I24, to provide commentary on defense issues.
One of my passions is to give talks, and share what I have learned with an audience.
Until 2016, I was the Jerusalem Post’s military correspondent.
My educational background:
- MA in The History of International Relations from the
London School of Economics and Political Science - BA in Politics and Modern History from the University of Manchester
In 2011, I published my first book, Virtual Caliphate.
