I believe that this next frontier must be accompanied by significant growth in health tech too. In my mind there isn’t one without the other - the Israeli ecosystem must diversify from cyber to remain sustainable and this dual path is the way forward.

[Shanie Roth @ShanieRoth]

At Israeli defense tech innovation day in Tel Aviv - and keep thinking how clear the overlap between building in health tech and defense tech is. Long R&D timelines, bureaucratic sales, complicated implementation, and massive impact (ie. sensitive infra x100).

[Shanie Roth @ShanieRoth]

The Israeli defense ecosystem is multiplying - and the potential for multilateral projects that support regional interests / interests of US allies is significant.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - OCT 24 2026. Political frontrunner Gadi Eisenkot shakes the hands of supporters as tens of thousands rally in support of the opposition block in Tel Aviv, Israel three days before the first election since the October 7th Hamas attack and subsequent war.

The US fighting Iran / Iranian proxies with Arab allies will strengthen its position in the Gulf + fight the narrative of Israel controlling the war.
Public & kinetic collaboration by allies will expand and continues to cement American geopolitical influence as irreplaceable.

"We're going to beat the fuc*ing sh*t out of them," President Trump told Fox News after Iran launched a surprise attack against U.S. forces. "We'll be hitting them hard."

The President says U.S. strikes overnight against Iran-backed militias in Iraq were coordinated with the Iraqi government.

"We're going to let them keep talking," President Trump said about the possibility of future talks with Iran.

The US, Israel, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and now Kuwait and Bahrain all attacking the Iranian regime. This multilateral coalition must continue working together — long after the war ends — to promote regional interests.

Exclusive: Bahrain and Kuwait secretly sent jets to attack sites inside Iran, their first direct retaliation against Tehran https://t.co/zt080uVNlk

@RahmEmanuel at @TelAvivUni “I understand your cynicism and I understand your anger”
and then quickly after: “The prime minister and his government have lead Israel to a dead end. “

Will the US retreat from global order create something more durable? New @QuincyInst data shows middle power workaround agreements spiked 5x in five years - predating Trump. Can the liberal world order outlast American leadership? https://t.co/VIL9VnEuwj

Proud of my photo in @BW's article about the global impact of the #IranWar‌ on business. Photojournalism has an increasingly important role in media covering complicated conflict zones - forcing viewers to confront humanity across borders.

The Trump-Xi summit backdrop: Gulf states continue to survive Iran's missiles using U.S./Israeli defense tech - but are buying Chinese arms for gaps Washington won't fill without strings attached. Has Beijing found that patience, not presence, is the winning Gulf strategy?

Co-produced this story from Tel Aviv - even interviewed my grandmother and got interrupted by another siren. #IsraelIranWar #israel #iran

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Since its joint attack with the U.S. on Saturday, Israel has come under fire from Iran and Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Producer Karl Bostic spoke with Israelis in Tel Aviv. @nickschifrin tells us their stories.
