Israel Defense, in association with the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is proud to present its new podcast: Defense Matters | A podcast about defense, technology, and the powers that move them.

In Episode 7, Host Aron Heller speaks with Prof. Uzi Rabi, PhD, Director of the Moshe Dayan Center for the Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, about the Israel’s relations with Saudi Arabia and potential future normalization.

Prof. Rabi and Heller discuss the Kingdom’s vital role as the lynchpin of the Abraham Accords, and analyze the upcoming Biden visit to the Middle East in the context of America’s needs from the Saudis. The two also examine the role of prominent politician and crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who has recently transformed the character and temperament of the Arab country, and possible defense alliances against the common regional enemy, Iran.

In our Game Changer segment, Heller speaks with our first return guest Ilan Bublil, Business Development and Marketing Director of Elta Systems at IAI. Bublil shares the highly advanced and innovative sensors available today in medical science, how they assist in reading patients remotely, and how they compare to traditional methods.
