He is now nearing completion of a new book entitled “Israeli National Security: A New Strategy for an Era of Change,” a much needed look at what has changed in Israel’s national security setting and recommendations for change. He is also co-authoring a book on Israel and the threat of cyber warfare.
Chuck has appeared as a commentator for numerous US, Israeli and foreign radio and TV stations and has published numerous academic articles and over 100 op-eds on a variety of Middle Eastern issues.
Chuck was a Senior Analyst at the Israel Ministry of Defense, policy adviser to a cabinet minister, a delegate at the Israeli Mission to the UN and the executive director of two non- profits. He served in the Israel Defense Forces for five years and is a reserve major.
Chuck earned his Ph.D. from Columbia University. Born in New York, he immigrated to Israel in his teens. He lives in Hod Hasharon, Israel, and spends the spring semester in the US each year.
