Bob was the first to interview former Mossad director Yossi Cohen in English in October 2021.[8][9] He moderated a panel at Reichman University in which former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon and other top defense officials participated.[10] He moderated a panel at Reichman University in which two former Mossad chiefs, Shabtai Shavit and Efrayim Halevy, as well as former IDF intelligence chief Aharon Zeevi Farkash participated.[11]

In 2018, he was the first to report that the Israeli Attorney-General would indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for bribery, several months before the first formal announcement.[12] He was subsequently interviewed in-depth about the story.
