Title: Lt Col (res) Sarit Zehavi – Lebanon, Syria, and Iran: damned if Israel does, damned if Israel doesn't (*from 7:35 mins)

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Lt Col (res) Sarit Zehavi, the founder and president of the Alma Center in Israel, a non-profit and an independent research and education center, specializing in understanding the security challenges on Israel's Northern border. Sarit was selected by the Jerusalem Post as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Jews of 2021 and has been interviewed well over 500 times by the world media post-October 7. Sarit provides us with a comprehensive update on the extensive efforts of Hezbollah, the state within a state in Lebanon, to regroup after the war with Israel late 2024. Sarit then details the dilemma that Israel has with Syria's nascent President-by-force, Islamist Ahmed Al-Sharaa, along with the most confronting issues that Israel has with the Islamic regime of Iran, that as we have recently seen, will in a heartbeat and with no compunction, kills its own people by the many, many thousands at a time. To quote Elie Wiesel again, "When someone says they want to kill you, believe them". To receive a most informative weekly ALMA email and to support Sarit Zehavi, with the very important ALMA mission, all the information is available at www.alma-israel.org. ALMA can also be followed on social media.
