On January 15, 2024, at the "Lessons from Gaza" conference in Jerusalem, Eliahu Yosian—an Iranian-born Israeli analyst, Unit 8200 veteran, and winner of the Israel Security Award—stepped to the podium and delivered a proposal that should have sent shockwaves through anyone committed to independent Jewish self-defense: Each Israeli combat soldier…
Ten Official Admissions the Abraham Accords Are Already Disarming the IDF
