Israel develops new weaponry and strategy the world has never seen

WATCH: “True East” with Doron Spielman

“True East” takes you beyond the headlines to reveal what truly drives Israel—its people, purpose and resilience. Hosted by IDF Spokesperson (Res.) Doron Spielman, the series dives deep into the forces shaping the Jewish state—from national security and leadership to culture, faith and the country’s vibrant economy. Spielman brings a rare insider’s perspective, blending military insight with on-the-ground experience to explore how Israel continues to innovate and thrive in one of the world’s most complex regions.

Each episode features conversations with analysts, activists, businesspeople and thought leaders who offer an unfiltered look at Israel’s challenges and triumphs. Together, they unpack the stories that define modern Israel—its defense strategies, social fabric and enduring pursuit of peace and progress. Authentic, sharp and deeply human, “True East” invites viewers to see Israel not just as a news story, but as a living, evolving nation shaping the future of the Middle East.

In this episode, host Doron Spielman sits down with former international IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. (Res.) Jonathan Conricus, who breaks down how Saudi F-35s could affect a future strike on Iran, why Turkey’s ambitions may be even more dangerous and why the new Gaza plan might drag Israel back into war if Hamas isn’t truly disarmed.
