Journalism and Public Speaking Career edit

Bob was the first to interview former Mossad director Yossi Cohen in English in October 2021.[9][10] He moderated a panel at Reichman University in which former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon and other top defense officials participated.[11] 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.[12]

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.[13] 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. [14][15][16][17]

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] Bob was interviewed about the war and his book to media outlets such as NBC Morning Joe, KTEP,[20] BizTalk Radio,[21] at a Hudson Institute seminar,[22] the Reichman University World Counter-Terror Summit, was scholar in residence at Jewish Center in Manhattan,[23] and was interviewed for the 2023 Detroit Jewish Book Fair.[24] 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.[25][26] He and Evyatar presented the book to Israeli President Isaac Herzog upon its release.[citation needed]
