Kedmi is a former director of the Israeli intelligence agency Nativ. He was born in Moscow and studied transportation engineering at the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers.

Russian TV Pundit Speech On Telegram
A Russian state commentator has instructed his country’s military to target Britain’s electricity stations to return us to the Stone Age.
Russia should strike the UK with its Zircon missile, a hypersonic missile capable of reaching 6,670mph, according to Russian broadcaster Yaakov Kedmi.
Kedmi’s frantic statements follow former colonel Mikhail Khodarenok’s warning that Russia was in ‘complete geopolitical isolation’ following its invasion of Ukraine.
If Russia launched a nuclear assault, Britain would be “thrown into the sea” and “drowned in a radioactive wave,” according to Kremlin propaganda.

In early 1967, he petitioned for Aliyah at the Israeli embassy in Moscow. Because he was a KGB operative, Israeli diplomats originally refused.
