Jerusalem Studio | The U.S. decision to arm Kurdish militias in Syria | 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.

The U.S. decision to arm Kurdish militias in Syria

In an unprecedented move, which was strongly objected by Turkey, Washington announced a decision to arm the Syrian Democratic Forces, perceiving the alliance as 'helpful' in the fight against the Islamic State.

To further discuss this topic and its regional implications, I'm joined here in the Studio by;

Prof. Ofra Bengio, Research fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center – TA University; and Dr. Jonathan Spyer, Director of the Rubin Center, Fellow at the Middle East Forum. Analyst Amir Oren.
