Kobi Michael

Kobi Michael is a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and the Misgav Institute, identified as a leading security analyst. He is newsworthy due to his commentary on the escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly concerning the ongoing U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran (Operation Epic Fury and Roaring Lion) and the situation in Gaza. He has described the recent missile attacks in Tel Aviv as a "biblical event" and commented on Hamas's rebuilding of its terror infrastructure in Gaza, including the recruitment of teenagers. Michael's analysis is sought after by news outlets like Fox News Digital to provide insights into the complex dynamics of the regional conflicts and the potential implications of events such as the proposed U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire plan and President Trump's suggestion of a "Board of Peace."
