Evening Edition: The Mossad's Role in Shaping Global Espionage
Israel's spy agencies are the stuff of legend.
From domestic intelligence gathering to rooting out terrorism in its own backyard, to disrupting and dismantling Iranian-backed terrorist armies entrenched in neighboring Arab states, Israel has led the world in both covert and overt operations.
One leader of its foreign intelligence agencies, the Mossad, had the foresight to see how gathering intelligence and using it to act quickly could benefit not only Israel but also its allies and, at times, its adversaries, and could be a political tool used to forge peace.
His name was Meir Dagan. Not only did his leadership provide Israel and allies like the United States with the means to stop conflict, but his work and ideas also helped reshape how the world gathers and uses intelligence. His story is just now being made known.
Samuel Katz, a New York Times bestselling author, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the Mossad’s incredible history and his new book, a biography of Meir Dagan titled 'The Architect of Espionage'.

Extra: Change Is Hard. What Lies Ahead For A Post-Penny America
After more than 230 years, the U.S. Mint has officially ended penny production early this month. The decision is seen as a money-saver, as the cost of making coins exceeds their value. However, phasing out the penny won’t be easy, and retailers will have to figure out how to make change as fewer are in circulation.
Philip Diehl, former U.S. Mint Director and President of U.S. Money Reserve, recently joined FOX News host Chris Foster to discuss the impact of the penny’s demise and what other coins could be next.
He also lays out ways businesses may need to handle pricing and calculating sales tax.
He also discusses the future of American money, and the nickel and the dollar could also see changes.

Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former U.S. Mint Director and President of U.S. Money Reserve, Phillip Diehl
