Jonathan Spyer

Jonathan Spyer (Hebrew: יונתן ספייר, Arabic: جوناثان سباير) is a British-Israeli analyst, writer, and journalist of Middle Eastern affairs.

These experiences were the basis for Spyer's 2017 book, Days of the Fall: A Reporter’s Journey in the Syria and Iraq Wars, published by Routledge.

In January 2018, Al Arabiya reported that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fired Tourjeman for permitting Spyer, an Israeli, entry into the country.

Spyer is also involved in efforts to designate the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and its allied militias as terrorist organizations.
