The annual Herzliya Conference is happening this week, which partly explains why nobody is putting out any of the usual breathless, wide-eyed speculation we know and love from the Israeli press - there's nobody around to interview. The conference brings together all of the most important people in Israel for chit-chats and presentations about the most pressing political and military threats facing Israel. Literally anybody who's anybody from anywhere - academia, army, politics - attends to hear lectures and exchange sometimes startlingly frank views. You can listen to the lectures here.
