Description

From the co-author of the best selling book, "Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of Israel's Intelligence Community," and the more recent non-fiction, "Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel's Secret Wars," this is a weekly podcast series -- delivering insights into the volatile events of the world's most fascinating region: the Middle East. 


Dan Raviv was a foreign correspondent and Washington radio anchor for CBS News for over 40 years -- much of that career in the Tel Aviv and London bureaus. He and Yossi Melman wrote 5 books about Israeli espionage, security, and diplomacy. Yossi helped launch THE MOSSAD FILES podcast in February 2025.


Each week, joined by well-informed guests, Dan discusses the latest developments involving Israel, its security agencies, Palestinians, Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and how the United States and other countries are involved. Inevitably, the turmoil of Israeli politics creeps into the conversation.


The most recent Raviv-Melman book is a history of the Mossad and the other security agencies, with chapters ranging from "Stop Iran!" to considerations of Israel's future. The book is SPIES AGAINST ARMAGEDDON. To purchase: https://www.amazon.com/Spies-Against-Armageddon-Israels-Updated/dp/0985437898/ref=sr_1_1


Our aim is to illuminate parts of the Middle East's unending drama that are often misunderstood. We look forward to your comments -- on Facebook (Dan Raviv) or on X (@DanRaviv), and we will occasionally post Video Extras. Happy listening!

Deep analysis on this post-elections episode of The Mossad Files with Dan Raviv. Dan (in Washington DC) chats with Marc Schulman, a historian, columnist, and pundit in Tel Aviv. They discuss the likelihood of more strains -- and negativity -- between America and Israel. Schulman says a first step to change the trend will be removing Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister. They explain how the rival (in Israel's Oct. 27 election), Gadi Eisenkot, has a much better chance of forming a ...
After analyzing details of the stalemate that resulted from the Oct. 27 election in Israel, Dan speaks with Israel-based Rotem Oreg-Kalisky, the founder of LIBRAEL, an organization that reaches out to liberals (progressives) in the United States. The group feels it can demonstrate that you can retain your liberal values, yet still be a supporter of Israel. The organization's website is LIBRAEL.org . Oreg-Kalisky speaks in favor of the idea that the “Change” bloc partner with Israeli Ara...
The stalemate with Iran, since early April, may well be broken -- one way or the other -- just after the fateful Israeli election (October 27) and the vital midterm elections in the U.S. (November 3). A top Israeli strategist, Professor Kobi Michael, joins Dan to consider what could be accomplished by renewing airstrikes against Iran -- even as Benjamin Netanyahu publicly declares that Israel's goal is to topple the Islamic regime in Iran. Kobi Michael also reviews his recently published anal...
Less than 2 weeks before Israel's election, violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank (a.k.a. Judea & Samaria) has erupted as a top story in the news worldwide. They have attacked Palestinian farmers and villagers, they severely injured a Washington Post photographer, and they assaulted a group of European diplomats who drove into the West Bank to see what's going on. Dan speaks with Nimrod Novik, one of the leaders of Commanders for Israel's Security, after the organization pet...
Dan spotlights some intriguing statements surrounding the third anniversary of October 7: Did intelligence agencies ignore warnings of a Hamas plan to massacre and kidnap Israelis? Brett McGurk, longtime nonpartisan U.S. official who was President Biden's Middle East envoy confirms there really was near-agreement with Saudi Arabia to establish open, cooperative relations with Israel -- just before the October 7 atrocity. McGurk was speaking to Margaret Brennan of CBS's Face the Nation, ...
