The Inside Scoop Jerusalem

It was exactly 50 years before the Oct. 7 Hamas invasion that Israel was surprised by another war: The Yom Kippur War. Bruce Bruce was at the NSA at the time and says in his book that US intelligence knew days in advance of Syrian and Egyptian plans for the 1973 Yom Kippur invasion of Israel – BUT DIDN’T TELL ISRAEL.  Is the same thing happening today? You can get Bruce’s book, Deceit of An Ally, here.

Meet the Druze community of Israel, an Arabic-speaking religious and ethnic group who just lost 12 children in a Hezbollah missile strike. In this episode I interview Bahij Mansour to find out more about the Druze people, their secret religion, their connection to Israel and why they feel like second-class citizens despite serving in the army. There’s a lot to unpack about this small minority group here. Check out my website: https://nicjan.com/ YouTube: /@nicoolness Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

In retaliation for the assassination of two generals, Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel – and we basically sat there waiting for them. We went from no alert to high alert as Israel announced that dozens (eventually it was hundreds) of drones and other weapon were launched from Iran and were heading our way. What was that all about? What ended up happening? And what can we expect from Israel in response now?

This is the very first episode of the Inside Scoop Jerusalem Podcast and we are starting off on a landmine of an issue. With the onset of Ramadan 2024, war still ongoing in Gaza and some Israeli cabinet ministers intent on restricting Muslim access to Al Aqsa, we've got a recipe for the "perfect storm," according to my guest Daniel Seidemann (follow him on https://twitter.com/DanielSeidemann).

What is really happening inside Iran right now—and are we witnessing the beginning of the end of the regime? In this conversation, Khosro Isfahani, research director at the National Union for Democracy in Iran, breaks down the dramatic developments unfolding on the ground in Iran—from targeted assassinations of key leaders to cracks in security forces. Khosro explains why the removal of powerful figures is more than symbolic, how the regime’s structure is being tested like never before, and whether its leadership is truly replaceable—or nearing collapse.
