Shmuel Rosner and Michael Herzog discuss the possible meanings and implications of the Israel—United Arab Emirates treaty.

Brigadier General (Res.) Herzog is a senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute and heads an extensive project on confronting the delegitimization phenomena. He rose through the military ranks to become head of the Israel Defense Forces strategic planning division and one of Israel’s prominent experts on strategic, military and intelligence matters.

Over the last decade he has held senior positions in the office of Israel’s Minister of Defense, under four ministers and was the chief of staff to Minister Ehud Barak. In those positions, he was at the center of Israeli decision-making on all key strategic, defense and political issues. General Herzog also is a military fellow at the Washington Institute, where he published extensively on Middle Eastern affairs.
