FORMER COMMANDER OF THE GOLANI BRIGADE, GEN. CHIKO TAMIR ON ISRAEL'S NATIONAL SECURITY

This episode of the podcast features a conversation with Chiko Tamir, recorded in front of students at The Fletcher School for Law & Diplomacy at Tufts. 

Brigadier General Chiko Tamir is something of a battlefield legend in the Israeli Defense Forces. 

He is the former commander of the IDF’s vaunted Golani Brigade and served as commander of the IDF’s Gaza division, participating in seminal battles inside the Gaza Strip.

As a young officer, he was tasked with establishing the EGOZ unit of the IDF, one of the most elite combat units anywhere in the world, with the specific goal of transforming Israel’s posture from reactive to proactive against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.

During the Second Itifada, Chiko personally coordinated with Ariel Sharon in order to beat back the terrorism and suicide bombing emanating from the West Bank.

Today, he retains responsibility for readying IDF reservists for future conflicts inside Gaza.

He joined The MirYam Institute on the east coast for a lecture series under our auspices that included presentations on Israel's national security at the United States Military Academy at West Point and the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts, as well as several presentations to community leaders in Massachusetts and New York.
