New Israeli dilemmas in the Syrian crisis, analysed by Michael Herzog

The Syrian civil war got closer than ever to Israel’s northern border late last week with the border town of Quneitra on the Golan Heights falling briefly into the hands of rebel forces on 6 June. This followed other developments including tension over the Russian supply of anti-aircraft missiles to Syria, increasing participation of Hezbollah in the fighting, escalating rhetoric from Assad towards Israel, and threats to the integrity of the UN observer mission which has been overseeing a ceasefire between Israel and Syria since 1974. In this podcast these developments are assessed by BICOM’s Senior Research Fellow, Brig. Gen. (ret.) Michael Herzog.
