Journalism and Public Speaking Career

Bob was the first to interview former Mossad director Yossi Cohen in English in October 2021.[9] He moderated a panel at Reichman University in which former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon and other top defense officials participated.[10] He moderated a panel at Reichman University in which two former Mossad chiefs, Shabtai Shavit and Efrayim Halevy, as well as former IDF intelligence chief Aharon Zeevi Farkash participated.[11]

In 2018, he was the first to report that the Israeli Attorney-General would indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for bribery, several months before the first formal announcement.[12] He was subsequently interviewed in-depth about the story.

From July 2020 to January 2023, Bob broke a series of exclusives and first publications about sensational attacks on Iran's nuclear program which most attributed to the Mossad.[13] [14] [15] [16] During the war in Israel that began in October, 2023, Yonah was embedded with Israeli forces in Gaza three times: at Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, at Yahya Sinwar's house in Khan Yunis and at Rafah, the Philadelphi Corridor and the Kerem Shalom and Rafah Crossings.[17] During this time period he also authored several op-eds in the Wall Street Journal.

Target Tehran, his book co-authored with Ilan Evyatar, was released a month before the outbreak of the 2023 war between Israel and Gaza, and reviews have noted the link between Hamas and Iran.[18] [19] The book was named one of the Top Five Books in Politics for 2023 by the Wall Street journal, and won the Jewish Book Council Natan Award for 2023.[20] [21] Target Tehran was translated to Hebrew and published by Yediot Books in April 2024.[22] The paperback edition of Target Tehran is due to be published in September 2024, with a new Afterword addressing the post October 7, 2023 world.[23]

Bob was interviewed about the war and his book to media outlets such as NBC Morning Joe, KTEP,[24] BizTalk Radio,[25] at a Hudson Institute seminar,[26] the Reichman University World Counter-Terror Summit, was scholar in residence at Jewish Center in Manhattan,[27] and was interviewed for the 2023 Detroit Jewish Book Fair. He has been a guest lecturer at the World Affairs Council of Greater Houston and at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, both in October 2023.[28] [29] He and Evyatar presented the book to Israeli President Isaac Herzog upon its release.
