VIP Dinner Speaker Announced!

We are honored to announce that IDF Major General Oded Bassiuk will be the VIP dinner speaker at JINSA’s US-Israel National Security Conference on November 5.

As one of the leading architects of Israel’s tremendous campaigns during the 12-Day War in Iran, against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Syria, we are delighted to hear MG Bassiuk’s behind-the-scenes perspectives on the decisionmaking and operations since October 7. He will also discuss strategic military challenges and opportunities he sees for the region moving forward.

General Bassiuk recently joined JINSA as the Applbaum Visiting IDF Fellow, after concluding a distinguished 34-year career that included serving in elite positions such as head of IDF Operations (J3), the head of the Planning Directorate, and commander of the the 162nd and 146th Divisions and the 7th Armored Brigade.
