Few Israelis are as deserving of the title Mr. Security as Moshe Bogie Yaalon. His history of military and political leadership speaks for itself. A unique voice on the Israeli political scene, Yaalon holds hawkish right-wing views on security, but objects to a binational state. He supports individual rights and battles corruption within the government. This unique worldview led to the conclusion of his term as defense minister in 2016 in the Netanyahu government and also serves as his compass in his journey back to leadership of the state. Yaalon speaks openly on the main issues on the State of Israels agenda today, including his criticisms of the submarine affair, the cabinets behavior in Operation Protective Edge, and the ethical crisis of the Elor Azaria incident. This fascinating and inspiring insider view is a must-read for anyone interested in the landscape of the Middle East.

Former Israeli Minister of Defense Lieutenant General (Ret.) Moshe Bogie Yaalon was born in Kiryat Haim in 1950 and is a founding member of Kibbutz Grofit in the Arava. He served as chief of General Staff of the IDF, vice prime minister, minister of strategic affairs, and member of Knesset for the Likud Party. Today the chairman of the Telem Party, he is a member of Knesset for the Blue and White list. He and his wife Ada have three children and nine grandchildren.
