Transcript

In today’s episode, Ilana Rachel Daniel welcomes Dr. David Adesnik, Senior Fellow and Director of Research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies who’s own research focuses on Syria and Iran, in particular their illicit oil trade and Iran’s use of proxy forces to project influence across the region.

We dive into Adesnik’s expertise on terrorism, warfare, and military threats across the Middle East, including the long discussed operation into Rafah - the last of Hamas’s stronghold in Gaza - and what it means for hostage negotiations, Israel's relationship with the US, and the looming threat of war with Hezbollah on Israel's northern border.

The Common Denominator

The Common Denominator seeks to fill in the gaps of theory and reality to demystify the realities of the Jews and the Jewish state, but not only. We face today the broader threats of terrorism on the rise worldwide, the deterioration of western civilization, leaderships who continuously seek to centralize their power and the reality of the human fallibilities that aid them.

Ours is research based in fact and reported on with nuance and testimony from real time and location in Southern Israel.

There’s nothing else like it around and we want you involved.
