In this episode, Michael Eisenberg — Co-Founder of Aleph and one of Israel’s leading venture capitalists and public thinkers — dives deep into the future of AI and national security, repairing Israel’s economy and politics, and how Israel and its Abraham Accords partners can help transform the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. He shares strategies for improving Israel’s narrative in the West, and explains why leaders like Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron should take lessons from the Israeli model — or risk disaster.
Despite the challenges and tragedies Israel faces, Eisenberg explains why he remains optimistic about its future — and why he’s betting on a new generation of Israeli leaders.
In the first segment, Lahav and Asher discuss Israel’s plans for an expanded operation in Gaza, the drop in American public opinion and its implications for Israel’s war strategy, and avenues for advancing the Abraham Accords five years after UAE-Israel normalization.
