Brig. Gen. (res.) Erez David Maisel joins Andrew to provide a crash-course in Israeli Intelligence history. Erez formerly served as Brigadier General and Director of the Israel Defense Forces International Cooperation Unit. Currently, he is an associate researcher in the Military History Department of the IDF, focusing on Cross-Boundary Defense and Public Crisis Engagement in conflict zones.
Erez is an alumni of the University of Haifa, which sits atop the northeastern slope of Israel’s Mount Caramel mountain rage.

This episode is the first in our 5-part SpyCast series on Israeli Intelligence. In this month-long series, SpyCast takes a deep dive into the ins and outs of intelligence and espionage in Israel - its intricate history, agencies, major successes and failures, and current state.
The events unfolding this week are tragic and historic in their timing - coming almost 50 years to the day after the Yom Kippur War. The Spy Museum has an educational mission and we work hard to provide historic context and understanding for what happens in the world.
