As Israeli voters head to the polls, I ask "Is Israel a good ally?" In my latest for @ForeignPolicy, I review a new book by @ElliotKaufman6 and @jeremybob1 which details how Jerusalem slayed Washington's foes:

The Scowcroft Center joins in mourning the passing of Dr. Mathew J. Burrows, who served as its Director of Foresight for nearly a decade starting in 2013. A quiet man with a brilliant mind, Mat came to the Council after serving for nearly three decades in the intelligence community and the U.S. Department of State. While there, Mat became known most for his leadership of the National Intelligence Council’s Global Trends series, which under his direction was among the world’s most highly respected works in the field of strategic foresight.
Mat brought this background with him to the Atlantic Council and its strategic foresight initiative. While the world has many scholars, Mat proved himself to be the scholar’s scholar. Time and again, Mat’s command of the facts, awareness of the global strategic landscape, and erudition astonished his colleagues at the Council and peers and audiences everywhere else. In burnishing his reputation as an intellectual giant, Mat also did much to raise the Council’s profile in strategic foresight. He will be sorely missed.
🚨 Intensifying strategic competition. Shifting defense priorities. How is @USAfricaCommand adapting? Join USAFRICOM commander, Gen Dagvin R. M. Anderson, at the Atlantic Council’s latest #ForwardDefense Commanders Series.

"There is nothing that I think is more terrifying to a human being than the thought of a biological agent making them sick and possibly killing them." - Ken Wainstein, Commissioner
Much has changed since the 2001 anthrax attacks, but one thing hasn’t: the fear of a biological event and its devastating consequences.
We understand the danger. Now we need to do more to prepare.
