Date: Wednesday, July 16th
Time: 12 noon Eastern Standard Time, 7 p.m. Jerusalem Time
Why has Lebanese President Joseph Aoun rejected peace with Israel, now that so much of Hezbollah has been decimated by the Israelis? Who is actually in control of Lebanon? Why did Hezbollah refrain from joining in the war against Israel in Operation Rising Lion? What is going on between the Druze and the Bedouin in the Suwayda section of Syria? Can there be a diplomatic solution to Israel’s northern border with Syria, or with Lebanon?
Here to answer those questions and more is Lieutenant Colonel Sarit Zehavi, Founder and President of the Alma Center
