The Israeli Bond: Israel Today (Mini-Series Launch)
In this powerful and personal episode of The Israeli Bond on hmTv, host Gal Swisa Cohen launches a new mini-series, Israel Today, with a deeply meaningful first guest, her husband, Dagan Cohen, Senior Israeli Emissary from the Jewish Agency.
Speaking not as officials but as Israelis shaped by military service, family life, and lived experience, Gal and Dagan explore the reality following the return of the last hostage from Gaza. With the hostage crisis over, the conversation turns to the urgent question facing Israel now: What comes next?
They discuss buffer zones, border communities, military presence in Gaza, and the collapse of trust that now shapes Israeli security policy. The episode goes beyond headlines, examining the human side of national defense, including the growing burden on reservists, the strain on families, and the emotional cost carried by Israeli society.
This premiere of Israel Today offers context, perspective, and an unfiltered look at the dilemmas Israelis are navigating in real time.
A conversation about security, sacrifice, resilience, and the complex reality of Israel in 2026.
