Jerusalem Studio | Israel’s Northern Woes: security amid instability | Heaven TV7

For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

Israel’s Northern Woes: security amid instability

Ahmed a-Shar’a’s honeymoon as Syria’s new ruler lasted exactly three months and predictably ended in bloodshed. Hundreds of civilians, mostly members of the Alawite minority which flourished under the despotic Assad dynasty, were massacred by the new regime’s loyalists. A-Shar’a’s effort to portray his Jihadist identity as belonging to the past were exposed as a Shami sham. The chaos in Israel’s Northernmost neighbour thus proved that Jerusalem’s cautious policy of forward deployment and relations with the Druze community and other minorities was the right one to adopt.

To analyse Israel’s quest for security in the midst of Syria’s instability, let’s turn to
-Col. (res.) Reuven Ben-Shalom, Cross-Cultural Strategist
-Prof. Russell Berman: Senior Advisor in the US State Dept, Director of the Middle East Project, Hoover Institution
- Amir Oren: TV7 Editor at Large and Host of Watchmen Talk
