Join CJP for a timely update on Israel’s preemptive operation against Iran’s nuclear weapons program. We’ll be joined by IDF Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and co-founder of Bottom Line Media.
Israel launched strikes against Iran on Thursday with the goal of eliminating Iran’s nuclear threat. Iran has responded with ballistic missile attacks in Israel, and the possibility of a wider conflict with the country looms. Through this briefing, we will get a greater understanding of Israel’s strategic objectives, the implications of this operation for increasing regional peace and stability, and what threats Israelis face from Iranian retaliation.
If you have any questions or need special accommodations, please contact Dani Weinstein at daniw@cjp.org.
Jonathan Conricus is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the co-founder of Bottom Line Media. He recently retired as an IDF Lieutenant Colonel, after serving in the IDF for 24 years as a combat commander in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip as a military diplomat, foreign relations expert, and international spokesperson. He was the first IDF officer to be seconded to the U.N. HQ in New York where he provided strategic analysis for U.N. peacekeeping. During the first three months of the war against Hamas, he represented the IDF in international media in hundreds of interviews across top-tier networks, often explaining complex situations on the ground, in addition to delivering dozens of updates on IDF social media accounts for millions of interested viewers around the world. Between 2017-2021, Jonathan served as the IDF’s International Spokesperson, responsible for the global public affairs, social media, and public diplomacy of the IDF. Jonathan can speak about and answer diverse questions on any of the following topics: Israel and its military history, threats and opportunities; Israeli society; the Iranian axis of evil, focusing on Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad; Sunni extremism in the Middle East; counter-terrorism, Israel and the international media; U.N. peacekeeping forces, programs and bodies in the Middle East; Middle Eastern geopolitics. Jonathan is a proud Zionist, a strong believer in the crucial bond between the State of Israel and the Diaspora, and has (so far), dedicated his whole professional life to represent and defend the good name of the State of Israel in the world. Jonathan is native in Hebrew, English, and Swedish and intermediate in German and Arabic.
