American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) 2020 Policy Conference

“The Mounting Threats on Israel’s Northern Border”

Panel discussion between panelists: IDF Brigadier General (Reserve) Nitzan Nuriel, IDF Lieutenant Colonel (Reserve) Sarit Zehavi, and Professor Boaz Ganor, Founder and Executive Director of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT).

The ensuing conversation affords the viewer a sobering look at what threats Israel will face (and is currently facing) from its many enemies, especially those situated to its north. The discussion includes the threats of the Iranian proxy army Hezbollah in Lebanon (and its new precision-guided missiles that Iron Dome would have a hard time handling), the ongoing battle against the Iranian nuclear program, and Russian hegemony in Syria and the region at large at the expense of U.S. and Israeli interests. These subjects are dissected by three Israelis who are grizzled veterans of either the actual military struggle or the war of ideas that plays out in think tanks and in academia
