Yonah Jeremy Bob

Yonah Jeremy Bob is an author and Israeli-based journalist who has worked at The Jerusalem Post since 2012 and currently serves as senior military correspondent, intelligence analyst and Literary Editor. He frequently lectures in Israel and the United States on security, spy wars, diplomacy and politics. His latest book, Target Tehran was released in September 2023 and deals with Israel's response to the Iranian nuclear program. A review in the Wall Street Journal by John Bolton said the book was "replete with anti-Iran cyber-warfare and sabotage successes."

Bob was raised in Baltimore and graduated cum laude from Columbia University and Boston University Law School. He previously worked for the Israeli Foreign Ministry and Israeli Military International Law Division and the Israeli Justice Ministry.

Journalism and Public Speaking Career
Bob was the first to interview former Mossad director Yossi Cohen in English in October 2021. He moderated a panel at Reichman University in which former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon and other top defense officials participated. 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.

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. 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.

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. Bob was interviewed about the war and his book to media outlets such as NBC Morning Joe, KTEP, BizTalk Radio, at a Hudson Institute seminar, the Reichman University World Counter-Terror Summit, was scholar in residence at Jewish Center in Manhattan, 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. He and Evyatar presented the book to Israeli President Isaac Herzog upon its release.
