Ambassador Dr. Dore Gold's spent his professional life as a diplomat and trusted senior advisor in the pursuit of peace and security for Israel with its Arab neighbours. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, he lives in Jerusalem with his wife and family. Dore Gold was Israel's ambassador's to the UN in the late 90s. He advised on the Madrid peace conference in 1991 before leading Likud's dialogue with the Hashemite kingdom in Jordan which led to peace in 1994. This was a direct response to the ruling Labour Party's dialogue with the PLO. Ambassador Gold was also a key figure in the closure of the PLO's office in East Jerusalem, a concession insisted upon as Israel opened talks with Yasser Arafat as part of the Oslo Accords. Since the turn of the millennium, he's been president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs with his deep experience of US–Israel policy. A supporter of the Abraham Accords, he doesn't believe the change of administration in Washington will undermine the extraordinary achievements of President Donald Trump‘s diplomats across the region - even if the foreign policy priorities of the Biden administration have switched from the Middle East to the western Pacific. His articles and books cover a wide variety of Israeli diplomacy on Jerusalem and he's dedicated to the Golden City replacing Tel Aviv as the ultimate diplomatic hub. He's also concerned with the UN and its implications for Israel, nuclear Iran, the United States' relationship with Israel and the possibility that Saudi will complete its extraordinary change from sworn enemy to partner in normalization.

In the water-scarce Middle East, water that can be used for drinking and agriculture is of premium importance. The entire ancient civilization of imperial Egypt grew up around the Nile River and its basin, and much of the east Africa still depends on it. Although Israel has made amazing advances in hydrotechnology, it too must treat water as a scarce resource, and that makes the politics of the Nile, along with the policing of the Red Sea, a question of real strategic significance to the Jewish state and the regional order of the Middle East.  In this week’s podcast, Mosaic editor Jonathan Silver is joined by Dore Gold, president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations, to discuss the strategic importance of the Nile River, the policing of the Red Sea, and what they mean for Israel and the regional order of the Middle East.  Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

This week, AJC held its first-ever Virtual Global Forum, taking the premier annual global Jewish advocacy gathering online. Here we showcase some of the most memorable moments from the star-studded, five-day event. First we hear an excerpt from a historic public dialogue with United Arab Emirates Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Anwar Gargash about how his country can work with Israel despite political differences. Then, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker discusses racial injustice in America and the importance of Black-Jewish cooperation in tackling that national challenge. Finally, AJC Managing Director of Global Communications Avi Mayer moderates a fiery debate on the future of the West Bank between Member of Knesset Merav Michaeli of Israel’s Labor Party and veteran Israeli diplomat Dr. Dore Gold, President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show broadcasting from Israel, Ambassador David Friedman joins the program at the CBN studios in Jerusalem. Amb. Friedman says that the U.S stands much to benefit from such a strategic partnership with the State of Israel and its intelligence services. More Americans are alive today because of the intelligence-sharing between the U.S and the IDF/Mossad intelligence agencies. In fact, Bill Ford of the Ford Motor Company says that the high technology industry in Tel Aviv provides more flexibility than some tech hubs in the States. Then, Dore Gold, President of the Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs joins Mark. Ancient Iran, or Persia, spanned a greater distance than their boundaries dictate today. Iran sees itself as a truncated version of its former self. Due to their commercial trading interests, Europeans turn a blind eye to Iran's ambition to lay claim to Syria, Bahrain, and many other territories. Therefore, the United States and Israel pose the greatest threat to Iran's aggression in the region primarily through proxy groups like Hezbollah. Afterward, being historically accurate is important. Whether it's being right about Betsy Ross and the flag or correcting Sen. Kamala Harris on bussing. People risk their lives to come to America as imperfect as it is. The fact is, is that neither Colin Kaepernick nor Kamala Harris have done anything to advance America with their divisive racialist rhetoric. The Declaration of independence and the U.S Constitution are documents that uphold the rights of the individual, all individuals, including African Americans. Kamala Harris’ surrogates are tripping over themselves on whether Harris is actually African-American. Even CNN's Dom Lemon understands this better than most Democrats. The left has become so dependent on the pigmentation of identity politics that they can't even keep it straight amongst themselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Listen here as Secure America Now President, Allen Roth, discusses the state of affairs in Israel and the Middle East with former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations and current President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Dore Gold.

Amb. Dore Gold testified in Washington before the House Subcommittee on National Security on July 17, 2018 Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Ron DeSantis: Ambassador Gold, would this be in Israel's national security interest to have U.S. recognition of the Golan? Gold: I believe that U.S. recognition of Israel's sovereignty on the Golan would unquestionably be in Israel's security interest. Look, everyone talks about Israeli forces staying on the Golan Heights. That's in the famous Ford letter from 1975, repeated again by James Baker's letter before Madrid, repeated again by Warren Christopher's letter to Israel. So that concept is a bipartisan concept. Now let's use our minds for a minute. How do you keep Israeli forces on the Golan Heights if people think it's Syrian sovereign territory? I don't think a seminar at Harvard Law School could figure this one out. De Santis: I think that actually may be the last place you'd want to figure it out. Gold: What I am saying is the best way to assure that is to do the logical thing and assure Israeli sovereignty and that will protect the Israeli military presence that almost everybody agrees must be continued, particularly when you're at the end of a war in Syria where a number of countries are now going to come and say, “Okay, how do we create a new order in Syria? We get rid of the Israelis in the Golan.” Prevent it; establish Israeli sovereignty. Hice: Now we have Assad’s regime, a campaign in southern Syria obviously threatening Israel's sovereignty. What are the implications of that? Gold: The current campaign, which Assad's people say is to recover Syrian territory from ISIS, is really part of a much wider effort of the Iranian axis - which they call themselves the “axis of resistance” - to establish this land bridge across the Middle East which will enshrine Iranian hegemony in the region. That should be our point of departure. If some Arab states are not willing to come to this committee and extol the idea of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, it's because our diplomatic work - and I was involved in Golan negotiations for the State of Israel. I was involved in contacts with the Arab states. You can reach agreements quietly, but not publicly on a lot of sensitive issues. I don't believe that suddenly Bahrain or Saudi Arabia or Kuwait or the UAE would downgrade their relations with the United States because the United States recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli sovereign territory. To the contrary, you would be serving the interest of the anti-Iranian group among the Middle Eastern states. Rep. Doug Lamborn: I do want to focus in more than we have so far on Iran and Iran's designs. Gold: The fact of the matter is that the Iranians are planning on building a very large army. Now these Shiite militias are trained and equipped by Iran and deployed in Syria. The goal, according to General Soleimani himself, is to get to 150,000 men. Now remember, Israel does not keep the whole Israeli army on the Golan Heights. It has a small blocking force. The number of soldiers it puts there is classified. But after 48 hours we get to full mobilization and then we can withstand an attack. Now if there is a massive Iranian force in the next five to six years that develops in Syria, that plans to attack Israel, Israel's dependence on the Golan Heights and the initial terrain conditions that the Golan presents to Israel will become more vital. There's no alternative to Israeli military presence on the Golan Heights, enshrined, protected diplomatically by Israeli sovereignty.

Accusations made against Israel over the last month that the Israeli army used “excessive force” against Palestinians along the fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel provided me with a strong sense of déjà vu. Back in 2009, Israel was bombarded with criticism that it had used disproportionate amounts of force as it tried to suppress Hamas rocket fire aimed at Israeli cities. The high point of that criticism back then was the release of the famous, or I should say infamous, Goldstone Report that was commissioned by the UN Human Rights Council. The Goldstone Report had the audacity to assert that Israel had used its military forces to deliberately kill Palestinian civilians. I’ll repeat that: “deliberately kill Palestinian civilians.” The report was adopted by a large number of countries. At the time, I actually was asked by Brandeis University to debate Goldstone, to bring the evidence I could obtain from the Israeli army to show the truth of what really happened. Actually, in 2011, the truth finally came out about the Goldstone Report, just as Goldstone actually retracted his conclusions in an op-ed that he wrote for The Washington Post. Unfortunately, the damage had been done to Israel in those years. Charles Krauthammer in fact called the Goldstone Report a “blood libel against the Jewish state.” Now in 2018, Israel was bombarded again with a whole series of false accusations about how it handled the situation along the Gaza-Israel fence. The facts that have come out since that time show a completely different reality from what Israel’s accusers have been saying. First, we saw in an area called Kerem Shalom – that’s the international crossing from Israel into the Gaza Strip – that Hamas ordered an attack on this passageway that supplies food, pharmaceuticals, clothing, and everything that the people of Gaza need for a normal life. The Kerem Shalom passageway was set on fire by the Palestinians themselves. Second: Mahmoud al-Zahar, one of the most prominent Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip, who used to be foreign minister of the Gaza statelet, Mahmoud al-Zahar reminded his Arabic-speaking audience that, as he said, “This is not peaceful resistance.” I’m talking about the demonstrations along the fence. “It is supported by our weapons.” Third: a day afterwards, Hamas released a press release with an astounding claim. It said that the Great Return March, which was leading Palestinians to charge the border fence, was actually part of the heroic armed struggle. Fourth: in another statement made by Hamas it was stated that the goal of the march was to breach the fence. “To breach the fence” means to break open the fence and allow thousands to pour into Israel. Now they weren’t going there to have a picnic. On that occasion, Hamas also provided the demonstrators with maps of how to get to Jewish towns and villages. And fifth: it became clear when a senior Hamas member gave an interview on television and he admitted that of the 62 Palestinians who had been killed, 50 were Hamas operatives. Suddenly, the picture of what went on in this struggle over Israel’s fence with the Gaza Strip became clearer as this information came out and the situation became clear about what happened along Israel’s southern fence. I wondered whether the people who had attacked Israel, who had made comments and questioned the intentions of the Israeli army, I wondered whether they would come out and express some kind of remorse and perhaps a different view. Among all the critics of Israel, it’s this rush to judgment that shows a basic lack of faith in the Israeli legal system, in the morality of the Israeli army, and it’s this rush to judgment that encourages Hamas to keep its war against the State of Israel going.

February 17, 2018 | Jon Voight, Dore Gold, & Maurice Sklar | Huckabee by Huckabee

Dore Gold talks to Secure America Now's President, Allen Roth to discuss recent news around the Israel-Iran conflicts. He also explains why the terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood poses a real threat to America and our ally, Israel. Listen in to learn more about the issues that affect America's National security.

I get asked all the time, “You wrote a book, we seem to remember, about Saudi Arabia’s contribution to the rise of global terrorism after 9/11. Yet you are now associated with the effort of the State of Israel and others to bring Saudi Arabia into the tent and to create a kind of new relationship – perhaps a reconciliation – between the Jewish state and the Saudi Kingdom. How do you explain that? Isn’t that an inconsistency.” The Israeli security establishment at the time estimated that between 50 and 70% of the Hamas budget came from Saudi Arabia. When Israel was forced to move into Palestinian cities during that period and entered into the headquarters of many of these organizations, it discovered Saudi documents in Hamas files. In those file drawers were canceled checks, from even Chase Manhattan Bank and from other financial institutions, which linked Saudi Arabia to these various terror organizations through certain financial arms. Saudi Arabia had large international charities like the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO), World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), and the Charitable Foundations of al-Haramain that are involved in terrorist financing from Bosnia to Indonesia. But something happened since then that changed this picture. In May 2003, Riyadh was struck by a triple suicide bombing attack – 18 people were killed and Saudi Arabia shifted from being on the side of those who were launching these terrorist attacks to those who were victims of terrorism. Basically, Saudi Arabia from that point onward was on the same side as the United States, Israel, and those countries of Western Europe that were being affected by the escalating wave of suicide bombing attacks that was striking all of us. We also got a clearer picture of where the ideology for these attacks was emanating from. While it was true that Wahhabi Islam – that entered the world stage in the 1700s – was associated with the revival of jihad in the Arabian Peninsula, the ones who were really behind the ideological push towards a renewed terrorism were organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood, which had sought and received sanctuary in Saudi Arabia when it was attacked by Ba’athist Syria or Nasserist Egypt. So what is the situation today? What draws Israel and Saudi Arabia to the same side of the fence? *** Ambassador Dore Gold has served as President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs since 2000. From June 2015 until October 2016 he served as Director-General of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Previously he served as Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN (1997-1999), and as an advisor to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

While international observers are rightfully looking at serious questions in the Middle East like the future of Syria and Iran’s interests in taking over that country, there is a crisis brewing to Israel’s south that has not gotten sufficient attention. I’m speaking about the Red Sea where at least a half a dozen countries are scrambling for influence, seeking bases throughout the area, and positioning themselves for perhaps even a future conflict. There are four flash points that should be the focus of our attention in the area of the Red Sea. First, the struggle between Egypt and its neighbors over the sources of the Nile River, particularly the sources of the Blue Nile, which runs through Ethiopia. Second, we have a consistent Iranian effort to gain entry to the Red Sea after having dominated the Persian Gulf. The third flashpoint which we should look at is what does it mean to have a Turkish entry into the entire area? The Turks have been busy in Somalia and in obtaining access to an island off of Sudan. And finally, the whole area is part of a great power rivalry we are now seeing in Djibouti virtually every major naval power with a base, all posed to be involved in the Red Sea including China with its first major overseas port. The first development that is causing a vast increase in tensions throughout this area is the struggle over the sources of the Nile River. For most of recent history, Egypt was the dominant actor over the Nile and, through various treaties negotiated by the British, the Egyptians also dominated the tributaries of the Nile. There, Ethiopia is planning what is called the “Grand Ethiopia Renaissance Dam, and by damming the Blue Nile, despite all the guarantees that Ethiopia can offer, Egypt is very concerned that its principal source of water for the Nile River may be denied. While the struggle over the sources of the Nile is transpiring, Iran is seeking positions of strength along the entire Red Sea, from the Suez Canal in the north down to Bab-el-Mandeb, the outlet of the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean. In the critical Bab-el-Mandeb straights, the naval choke point at the bottom of the Red Sea, Iran has been using the Houthi militias, which are its proxies in the Yemen war. And it may get to a point where the Iranians will seek to block the flow of naval traffic through this sensitive point. While all this has been going on, Turkey has imposed itself as a new factor in the Red Sea and in the Horn of Africa. The Turks have been active in Somalia, where they’ve built a north-south highway and a major military base. More recently, the Turks have leased Suakin Island from Sudan and they intend to build a naval base right in the Red Sea. Of all the nations that are positioning themselves in the Horn of Africa, careful attention should be given to the presence of China in Djibouti where China has constructed one of its first naval bases at the gateway to the Middle East. Given the interests of all the actors appearing now in the Red Sea, the whole region has become far more combustible than it was in the past. With all the focus on Syria and Iraq in recent years, it may be necessary to give greater attention to the theater of the Red Sea which in the next decade could become a serious source of international conflict. *** Ambassador Dore Gold has served as President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs since 2000.

During his visit to Israel in August 2014, Sean Hannity toured the Old City of Jerusalem with Ambassador Dore Gold, author of "The Fight for Jerusalem." Their walk through Jerusalem's historic sites was broadcast over two nights on FOX News. Here is a complete version of all the sections that were shown.

Ambassador Dore Gold tells BBC that Hamas is responsible for Gaza civilian casualties

The kidnap and murder of four teenagers - three Israeli and then one Palestinian - has triggered protests and violent clashes in both Israel and the Occupied Territories and unleashed the heaviest rocket fire between Israel and Hamas for nearly two years. Israel blames Hamas for the abduction and killings of the Israelis. The tensions flared over the past week after the bodies of the Israeli boys were found on the West Bank. Two days later a 16-year-old Palestinian boy Mohammed Abu Khdair was killed in Jerusalem. Jewish suspects have been arrested for his murder. This latest crisis has exposed the abyss between the two communities - could it escalate into a wider conflict?

Amb Dore Gold President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs Introduction to the Europe and Israel: a New Paradigm conference March 24, 2014

Muhammad Abu Askar, a longtime member of Hamas' Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, appeared before the Goldstone Panel arguing that his house had been "unjustly" blown up by Israel. No one bothered to ask him whether Hamas munitions were being stored in his house. The IDF reported that Abu Askar's house served as a storage facility for large stockpiles of weapons and ammunition, including Iranian-supplied Grad rockets that had been used against Israeli cities like Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Beersheba. The Izz al-Din al-Qassam website disclosed that Khaled Abu Askar, Muhammad's son, provided Hamas operatives with rockets and military equipment.

Dr. Dore Gold and Brig. Gen. (res.) Uzi Eilam provide the opening remarks for the joint conference between the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) and the Israel Missile Defense Association. The conference theme was "The Critical Need for Missile Defense for Israel's National Security: A US-Israel Forum".

In his presentation, Amb. Dore Gold discusses the three main undercurrents of the fight for Jerusalem. The first is the positive undercurrent of Israel's legal rights to Jerusalem, specifically after the War of Independence in 1948 and the Six Day War in 1967. The first war liberated Jerusalem from the hostilities that were occurring from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Six Day War recaptured the Old City and unified Jerusalem. In terms of international rights, Amb. Gold discusses Resolution 242 which does not call for full Israeli withdrawal or restoration of the pre-war situation. The international community recognized that returning to a pre-war Jerusalem was not ideal as Jerusalem had been illegally seized by Jordan and there was a lack of religious freedom.

In his presentation, Dr. Gold discusses the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. This was led by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon who realized he could not negotiate with the Egyptians (due to Arafat's involvement with terrorism) or the Palestinians (no suitable leader to negotiate with). He decided in order to take a step in the direction of peace to withdraw unilaterally from Gaza. However, the result was an increase in terrorism and the expansion of Hamas. Dr. Gold argues that this result illustrates how the conflict is much broader than just a territorial problem, but rather it is the conflict of the Islamic fundamentalists versus the West. Gaza is just a regional representation of this problem.

Dr. Dore Gold presents at a symposium hosted at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem by The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism, on the topic of "Israel, the Jews and the Sunni-Shiite Conflict".

Dore Gold took part in a panel discussion on Should We Wait It Out? Israel and a Changing Middle East, at The Israeli Presidential Conference: Facing Tomorrow 2013, in Jerusalem, June 2013

Pidyon Shevuyim, Jewish Ethics & Israeli Public Policy - Rabbi Chaim Brovender & Amd. Dore Gold

Former Israeli ambassador to the U.N. Dore GGold joined me last evening to talk about his new book, The Rise of Nuclear Iran: How Tehran Defies the West. Along with his former boss and current Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, I've long admired Mr. Gold for the moral clarity he brings to these issues. This book is filled with such moral clarity. It is a terrific overview of the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran and how they have deceived the West for more than 30 years. From Amazon, "Former U.N. Ambassador Dore Gold shows why engaging Iran through diplomacy is not only futile but also could be deadly. In the West, liberal politicians and pundits are calling for renewed diplomatic engagement with Iran, convinced that Tehran will respond to reason and halt its nuclear weapons program. Yet, countries have repeatedly tried diplomatic talks and utterly failed. In The Rise of Nuclear Iran, Gold examines these past failures, showing how Iran employed strategic deception and delay tactics to hide its intentions from the West. He argues that Western policymakers underestimate Iran s hostility toward us and explains why diplomacy will continue to backfire, no matter which party or president is in power."

Former Israeli ambassador to the U.N. Dore GGold joined me last evening to talk about his new book, The Rise of Nuclear Iran: How Tehran Defies the West. Along with his former boss and current Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, I've long admired Mr. Gold for the moral clarity he brings to these issues. This book is filled with such moral clarity. It is a terrific overview of the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran and how they have deceived the West for more than 30 years. From Amazon, "Former U.N.
