Carmi Gillon: Israel and the Dangers Ahead
Monday, October 19
11:30 AM EDT
A virtual series
Free
The former head of the Shin Bet, Israel’s security service, doesn’t pretend that he’s not worried about his country’s future. Just days before the February election, Carmi Gillon appeared in a video with five other former heads of the Shin Bet and the Mossad to warn that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posed a serious risk to Israel’s security. And he hasn’t been shy about predicting that the Trump plan will trigger a perilous right-wing messianic ideology.
He’ll share those and other concerns in a fascinating discussion with Ambassador Ido Aharoni.
