Text the ATB Team! We'd love to hear from you!

This week’s "At The Boundary" features Dr. Frank Sobchak as he discusses his extensive research on Israel since the October 7th attacks by Hamas. Dr. Sobchak shares firsthand accounts from his time in the region and insights gained from conversations with its citizens. The conversation also covers Israel's portrayal in American media and opinions on the ceasefire discussions between countries.

Dr. Sobchak, a Non-Resident Fellow of the Global and National Security Institute (GNSI) and Chair of Irregular Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, draws on his 26-year career in the U.S. Army and dedicated studies on Middle East security and the evolution of intelligence gathering and espionage.

At the Boundary from the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida, features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.

A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus.

The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels. We hope you enjoy At the Boundary.
