ON STRATEGY: BUILD YOUR HOUSE WITH A STRONG FOUNDATION

Standing in for me this week is The Miryam Institute’s in-house analyst Yaakov Lappin.
Going solo, he responds to various critiques of Israel's war effort, and argues that those who don't prioritize the need to remove terror armies from Israel's borders are advocating for future disaster. 
He then explains how non-miliary, strategic benefits only belong to powers that have demonstrated their willingness to defend their core interests first. 
Toward the end of the podcast, he discusses why drones remain a persistent threat, the arms race underway to mitigate that.
Finally, Yaakov expressed why building a sukkah this year is an act of Jewish resistance against Hamas's jihad.
