Sunday, November 9 - The Middle East in the Post-Olmert/Bush Era with Jerusalem Post Defense Analyst Yaakov Katz

Yaakov Katz is the military correspondent and defense analyst for The Jerusalem Post, the Middle East's leading English daily newspaper where he served as the chief correspondent during the 2005 Gaza Strip disengagement and covered the 2006 war in Lebanon. Currently, he writes on Israel's position vis-a-vis Iran's nuclear program and the national religious camp's position on further Israeli withdrawal from the territories.

His popular weekly column, "Security and Defense", as well as frequent appearances on local and foreign news shows, provides a behind-the-scenes look at the decision-making process in the Israeli defense establishment. Katz is also the Israel correspondent for a number of U.S. publications, including USA Today.

Originally from Chicago, Katz moved to Israel 15 years ago. He currently lives in Jerusalem and holds a law degree from Bar Ilan University.
