Ep. 477: The Israeli Bond with Gal Swisa Cohen and Omri Goshen
In this urgent and timely episode of The Israeli Bond on hmTv, host Gal Swisa Cohen speaks with Israeli security researcher and IDF reserve officer Omri Goshen to unpack the rapidly evolving war between Israel and Iran. Recorded just days after a coordinated U.S.–Israel military offensive against Iran, the conversation explores the dramatic shifts unfolding across the Middle East and what they mean for Israel, the United States, and the broader global order.
Gal and Omri examine the strategic reasoning behind the joint military campaign, launched amid long-standing tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions, ballistic missile program, and regional proxy networks. The offensive marks one of the most significant escalations in decades and has triggered retaliatory strikes across the region, intensifying fears of wider instability.
Drawing on his work as a researcher at the David Institute for Security Policy, Omri offers insight into Israel’s evolving national security doctrine, the geopolitical interests of the United States, and the complex web of regional actors including Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. He also describes daily life in Israel during the conflict, where civilians navigate constant alarms and missile threats while maintaining a strong sense of national resilience.
The episode explores the broader implications of the war: shifting alliances, economic corridors connecting Asia and Europe, the potential for regime change in Iran, and the long-term security challenges facing Israel.
This conversation provides listeners with a deeper understanding of one of the most consequential geopolitical moments of our time and the human realities behind the headlines.
