Show Notes
Welcome to the second episode of The Defense and Tech Podcast, where host Anna Ahronheim sits down with Dr. Lauren Dagan Amoss, a researcher at the Begin Sadat Center and a member of Forum Dvora.
At this crucial moment in diplomatic history, strengthening ties between Israel and international partners has never been so important. This episode was recorded just days after a deadly bombing in the Indian capital of Delhi and shortly after India and Israel signed a major defense cooperation agreement.
Dr. Dagan Amoss understands what years of progressive cooperation looks like, and shares with us the similarities between the two countries. She explores the growing partnership between the two countries-from agriculture, tourism, innovation, defense technology and more.
