The View from the Israeli North with Lt. Col. Sarit Zehavi
Date: Tuesday , December 30th
Time: 12 Noon Eastern Standard Time, 7 p.m. Jerusalem Time
Why must Israel maintain control of the Golan Heights, which the US recognized as sovereign Israeli territory on March 25, 2019? What is the IDF doing inside of Syria, and how is it protecting against further Hezbollah penetration into Lebanon? How is Hezbollah and the vastly metastasizing Shiite presence in Lebanon getting its funding for its armaments? What is the “Al-Qard Al-Hassan” and how is it involved in Hezbollah’s operations in Israel’s north? Can the Lebanese government shut down this nefarious operation?
Here to answer all of these questions and more, is Lieutenant Colonel Sarit Zahavi.
