This is an amazing podcast! The insight into the Hezbollah containment by Israel is breath-taking . Ronen truely has a deep understanding of the Israel security architecture. Thank you for bringing this to us.
new subscriber simply because Ronen is Ronen, a fellow I have watched , listened to for years, and have enormous respect and love for ., a true journalist, who loves our Eretz YisRoel, yet is TRUSTED, Ronen...if you read this, much love to you, Chaver
@basharstats: only if you exclude most of written history in furtherance of your lopsided view. Might also just be an exaggeration. Cambodia, Yemen, Sudan, to name just some more recent events .
One of the best analysts/reporter out there. Ronen Bergman always objective with deep understanding of the issues. Highly recommended to anyone who follows that political volcano, aka the middle east. Just like volcanos, it is not if, but rather when, do they erupt.

Agreed. Just think what else he's aware of, but can't discuss.
Ronen Bergman's book 'Rise And Kill First' is the best about espionage books. He is a respectful resource. God bless Israel. Much love and respect from Indonesia.
The big advantage of the pager attacks is that Hezbollah did not give the pagers to privates. Only sergeants, lieutenants, technicians, people with secrets. As a result, Hezbollah’s fighters in the field will be largely leaderless, and bereft of combat experience. This, I believe, is a big part of why Israel was successful in their ground campaign in Lebanon, unlike in 2006.
Less than 3 km ingress is hardly successful, especially in light of the high rate of attrition for troops and vehicles, and not too mention earning the ill will of Lebanese people.
@mikhacoffman4522 yes big dawg under cover of cease-fire they went further in; the only way they could get a fòt-hold. And they continue to violate agreement
From out of Ireland. Thank you very much for this honest interview. I work overseas because of reverse apartheid policy. My skin to white to find opportunity in RSA. Although a broad scope of expertise. Here in Europe we are welcomed with open arms, and so many job offers.
OK at minute 27 Israel is super smart and "plays" dumb, plays weak, lulling Hez into a false sense of security which Hez's arrogance always wants to go there. Israel is smart, very smart, and Bibi is the leader and he is very smart.
I've read a couple of Ronen's books. Highly recommended-he's a patriotic Israeli, but he isn't blind and can see faults on both sides. For example, he points out that Israel has tactical victory after tactical victory, but strategically, it still is facing ongoing war. This interview shows his depth of knowledge and sources. Up to you what you think of the analysis.
OK Ron disproves himself. He says that Israel is not patient. Mossad spent 3 years engineering the pagers to be perfect. That's the definition of patient. Minute 34
The average Israeli is extremely impatient. That's why he mentioned that. But, evidently, there are people in Israel that know how to play the long game.
Netanyahu he leaves at night to the general assembly flies overnight to New York City and he ends the discussion with no vote and he says we will discuss this when I'm back Friday This sounds like Bibi doesn't trust the people in the cabinet (especially Gallant)
Yep, This guys says that gallant was pro everything but everyone else connected with the situation keeps saying that gallant in the latter phase of the war was siding with Americans in regards to not escalating with Hezbollah
In the world of mirrors and shadows, what appears to be 2 when multiplied by what also appears to be 2, the answer is not always equal to 4. This may be a total fabrication.
Wow! This kind of detail is amazing. The patience and perseverance of Israeli intelligence shows the divine inspiration and guidance of everyone involved, even if the agents executing these plans are unaware of it. I’m in awe.
This man, Bergman, published a piece on September 17, 00:04 that was citing anonymous sources in the top military brass and defence establishment warning about miscalculated steps that Israel might take in Lebanon causing an all out war. Technically it was on the day of the first wave of the beeper operation. He doubled down on these claims also on Sep 18 during the second day of the operation. A formal complaint is filed against Ronen Bergman. The investigation did not happen (yet). So, for now Ronen can leak with impunity. But this not will be forever. I am very sorry that he misinforms the audience of this channel about the Galant and the top military brass role in this story. A piece of advice though: take everything this person says with a huge sack of salt.
Dairy pointing to him as a proponent of the concepcia and one of the many who are at fault would be a more effective use of words, correct me if I'm wrong grain of salt means one thing he's deflecting along with the other onerous traitorous left trying to subvert victory
Truly amazing!!!!! What is more amazing was the role played by luck. There was a lot of planning no doubt but there are moments when luck played a role. One lucky bit is Nasrallah's hubris. If he were to listen to his aides, he might have moved to a different location where Israelis would not have been able to take him out. Thank you for the this episode.
True -- and another bit of luck was that neither the pagers nor the walkie-talkies were discovered, even after being in the hands of Hezbollah for quite some time!
Nasrallah's body was actually found with the body of Ali Karki who was the commander of Hezbollah's southern command and not with the Iranian general as Bergman claims.
As far as I am concerned, Gallant had a major hand in the failure of October 7th. He did everything to undermine Bibi, and with Biden's administration hand in hand with the top army and intelligence brass. The guy arrested for 'leaking' to the PM did so because it was information that should have gone to the PM but didn't due to his superiors who wanted to keep Bibi in the dark, he is in actual fact a hero. This is what happened on the 7th of October...they didn't wake the PM!! I have quite enjoyed your podcast in the past but the obvious slant of this podcast against Bibi is distasteful because it makes you look like you are in alliance with the Biden administration and their efforts to destroy your own PM and your own people.
Total BS! Bibi is the architect of the conception of "buying silence with silence!" accepting for 10 years that Qatar will give millions of Dollars every month (some close to me in the Shabak says nobody ever really counted how much really), giving Hamas the time to construct those tunnels. In Tzuk Eitan operation in Gaza in 2014, The chief of the army almost beg Bibi to give him permission to take advantage of the operation to annihilate Hamas before it got stronger. Bibi refused. In March of 2023, Galant warn Bibi that something big is going to happen and that the juristic "revolution" that torn the society apart is making Israel look weak for the enemy. What did Bibi did? Fired him. Bibi is the main responsible for the fail of the 7thof October and he is a coward that refuse to take any responsibility. Thank God, that the people of Israel are greater than his leader and they are the main reason Israel have prevailed.
Unfortunately, Dan's podcast is amazing but he only has on people from one side of the political aisle. We need diversity of voices. I have suggested many people but I get crickets back
Does anybody else not fing it UTTERLY BEWILDERING that Israeli intelligence had infiltrated Hezbollah to such an extent and knew so much about their operations, yet knew nothing about Hamass attacks on October 6th? Maybe that's the real story that this reporter should be investiagating.
Interestingly, precious little effort was dedicated to finding a peaceful coexistence solution to prevent such a tragedy from happening in the Middle East.
The result would have been same as it is. once upon a time twice Arab states attacked simultaneously and were eaten pants down. Israel is no ordinary country.
I met with the Strategic advisor to one of the chiefs of the intelligence and he said we are confident that weend rain onala that something like the 10 plagues of Egypt OK I'm guessing this is going to lead to another Bibi bashing. Will continue to listen.
So halfway through I'm wondering how Oct. 7th happened. Does intel get inside for retaliation but can't tell when Hezbollah or Hamas will do something?
Enshalla Lebanon and Israel will have peace in the near future now that Hizbulla has been severely damaged and a new pro western president has been elected in Lebanon. It's rare to see Lebanese optimistic about the future of their country 😊.
is it wise to fully disclose how this was done? Might not Israel have need of something vaguely equivalent in the future? Or does everyone who might benefit from knowing how it was done, now in fact know how it was done in all events?
What's there to hide? What's done is done. Now the world is kept guessing on what other innovation Israel will come up with in its efforts to protect its citizens.
Wonderful, wonderful intelligence story, I can sum this up to Genesis 22:17b ...And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies". Thank you very much, praying for Israel.
There are times when journalists should keep their mouths shut. If any of this is true, Both of these guys are putting Israeli agents' lives at risk for what, a moment's notoriety? Common people!! Some decency!
Israeli's did something very very untypical to Israelis they were patient they were just keeping their breath. I strongly disagree with this statement. The Israeli leaders are some of the most patient leaders in history. Ron's is just not very sharp.
It's not this live they should be concerned about it's the next life of Punishment. By acting like Hollywood John Wayne you ate not the chosen ones but the evil ones . Enjoy your temporary status .

Great interview
An amazing eye opening interview… Ronen is singularly the most knowledgeable prolific reporter on Israeli legendary mystical intelligence.
Did he explain how Oct 7 happened? Is there an episode/ was missed? (Seriously, not sarcastic)
when you have support from veto powers, fully funded crimes, no legal consequences...surely you become legendary...what a genocide mind.
What a great interview. Bring him back whenever.
This is one of the most insightful interview I've ever watched. Nice job
This is an amazing podcast!
The insight into the Hezbollah containment by Israel is breath-taking .
Ronen truely has a deep understanding of the Israel security architecture.

There will be books written and movies made about this fascinating work and story!!! Israeli brilliance ❤️🇮🇱
Yes, but not framed in the glowing tones you ascribe to the event.
yeah the worst genocide in recorded history

Cambodia, Yemen, Sudan, to name just some more recent events .

War = death! Quite different than “genocide’. You should educate yourself.
Thank you for the insights shared on this episode.

The most genius moves in the history of intelligence and military operations.
Wow! Great reporting!
Ron says patient. this is not unexpected it is quite clear that Israel was extremely patient.
They’re also extremely patient with everyone else, guy is yapping in that regard
Dan remains back to the level of the very best at interviewing 'at the weeds level' of what we want to hear
God Bless Israel
Superb insight into Mossad mindsight and incredible Israeli intelligence!
Remember Mossad actually tracked Qasem Suleiman for Donald Trump to be able to killed him
I applaud the female from A200 who suggested using the pagers in addition to the walkie talkies.
*8200. similar sounding :)
Just a minor point but in the name of accuracy it is 8200.
The West are all about supporting terrorism.
Female?
Excellent reporting
Amazing. Thank you
Excellent journalism - 👍!!!
These are the kinds of positive episodes I show up for to Call me Back!

@@MrRoyalFlushx Thank you for your attention. FYI, Most Indonesian Christians stand with Israel. I hope one day I can visit Israel. God bless Israel.
Fantastic survey
Mossad's people (not Mossad political leaders which seem out to get Bibi) are super sharp and it is why Israel is still alive.

Incredible !
The bottom line is that Nasrallah's big mouth killed him.
His mouth conspired against him.
He was right to laugh though in the face of the absurdity and hubris that is unraveling the mythology and legitimacy of the State (of Israel).
OK at minute 27 Israel is super smart and "plays" dumb, plays weak, lulling Hez into a false sense of security which Hez's arrogance always wants to go there. Israel is smart, very smart, and Bibi is the leader and he is very smart.
Bibi isnt responsible for any of these successes, this is Mossad, 8200 & IDFs competence.
@@melaniewilliams1351then Bibi isn’t responsible for October 7, it’s the shin bet, 8200 and the IDF
I've read a couple of Ronen's books. Highly recommended-he's a patriotic Israeli, but he isn't blind and can see faults on both sides. For example, he points out that Israel has tactical victory after tactical victory, but strategically, it still is facing ongoing war.

What an eye opener!!!! Thank you!
Curious if Dan Senor recommends a book on Israel for those struggling to understand.
Maybe he can respond on one of the podcasts.
He's written a few. :)
OK Ron disproves himself. He says that Israel is not patient. Mossad spent 3 years engineering the pagers to be perfect. That's the definition of patient. Minute 34
They were patient in this case
Do you know Israelis? One of the most impatient people on earth
The average Israeli is extremely impatient. That's why he mentioned that. But, evidently, there are people in Israel that know how to play the long game.
Netanyahu he leaves at night to the general assembly flies overnight to New York City and he ends the discussion with no vote and he says we will discuss this when I'm back Friday
This sounds like Bibi doesn't trust the people in the cabinet (especially Gallant)
Every western govt has a 5th column leftists who leak
Yep,
This guys says that gallant was pro everything but everyone else connected with the situation keeps saying that gallant in the latter phase of the war was siding with Americans in regards to not escalating with Hezbollah
Amazing
Fascinating!
Ronans a great narrator, I e enjoyed his storytelling or reporting in many documentaries
This interesting thanks for sharing hope both of you have a great new year ❤🎉😂
Amazing! I’m pretty sure some Hollywood script writers are already onto it for the next blockbuster 👌
No peace without justice
The Israelis did the unpredictable becoming like the Chinese, Japanese and other Asian cultures, becoming patient
So smart to tell the enemy this so Israel will have to change its tactics.

Nasrallah's body was actually found with the body of Ali Karki who was the commander of Hezbollah's southern command and not with the Iranian general as Bergman claims.

There plenty of intelligence need to be analyzed.
Interestingly, precious little effort was dedicated to finding a peaceful coexistence solution to prevent such a tragedy from happening in the Middle East.
That's because only Israel wants "peaceful coexistence".
Why didn't Hezbollah coordinate with Hamas to attack Israel on Oct 7? Seems odd that both groups didn't attack at the same time.
The result would have been same as it is. once upon a time twice Arab states attacked simultaneously and were eaten pants down. Israel is no ordinary country.
Wow
OK what do the predictions have to do with the subject?
He's a l nefarious malignant malevolent eftist unfortunately I find them invited onto channels I've subscribed to without context warning
Coming up with the ideas, creating the tools, putting everything in place and then waiting.Incredible piece of long term intelligence strategy.
After listening this, I came away with the conviction that both the Lebanese and Iranians have a right to defend themselves.
Except they are n0t capable of defend themselves.
You must have been an Axis supporter seventy years ago...
