THE MOSSAD FILES with Dan Raviv & Yossi Melman

Israelis Spying for Iran: Sign of Society Disintegrating? And, Mossad Folks React to Signal-gate in DC

Dan and Yossi analyze a surprising spate of Israeli Jews who spied for Iran -- motivated by money; but our guest, Professor Yoram Peri, sees it as a sign of Israeli society breaking-apart. Dan and Yossi also discuss Israeli intelligence people's reaction to America's embarassing "Signal-gate": senior U.S. officials used the Signal app to discuss attack plans -- not realizing a journalist was part of the chat group. Professor Peri also claims that patriotism in Israel, even after the war that's followed the October 7 atrocities, is sadly waning. Also: How the 2-month ceasefire in Gaza helped Israel's intelligence agencies gather information that enabled targeted assassinations once the war resumed on March 18.
