	Description:		On today’s show: Host Simon Spungin is joined by veteran intelligence and strategic affairs correspondent Yossi Melman, who recently rejoined Haaretz after a six-year hiatus. In a wide-ranging discussion, we talk about the daily interference from the military censor that Israeli journalists have to put up with, the authorities’ attempts to silence critical reporting by claiming it could endanger national security and why the Mossad – one of the most clandestine organizations in the world – would welcome documentary-makers with open arms. We also discuss the Iranian threat to Israel – including Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett’s politically motives threats – and China’s stealthy but largely overlooked efforts to infiltrate sensitive Israeli infrastructure projects.
