“Iran will enter 2025 with an 85-year-old leader, staring down the barrel of another Trump administration. I’d imagine the president-elect hasn’t taken kindly to Iran’s attempts to kill him and his former officials since his first term in office.”
--Elliot Kaufman in an interview with Prime Minister Netanyahu,

Featuring Lieutenant Colonel Sarit Zehavi, Founder and Director of ALMA

How have the lightning rapid speed of the Syrian revolution and the fragile ceasefire with Hezbollah impacted the lives of the residents of Israel’s northern communities? Why has it been necessary for Israel to take over the Syrian part of Mt. Harmon and to destroy Assad’s weapons depots, and it’s military and strategic assets? Is it necessary for Israel to take over several villages in Syria, despite the reaction of the international community? Turning to Lebanon, there has been a continuation of the IDF discovering missile launchers, KPGs, and rockets. What are the goals of the IDF in Lebanon? What impact have all of these changes in Israel’s north had on the ability of the residents of the north to return home? Is Hezbollah in Lebanon undeterred? How trustworthy is Mohamad al Jolani (Ahmad al-Sharaa), in his declarations? What are the roots of Hyatt Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), and are his words simply an example of Takiya?
Here to answer these questions and more is Lieutenant Colonel Sarit Zehavi.
About Our Speaker: Lieutenant Colonel (Res.) Sarit Zehavi is the founder and president of Alma, a nonprofit and an independent research and education center specializing in Israel’s security challenges on its northern border.
