With the U.S. reducing its military presence in the Levant to a fraction compared to the massive footprint it had in the region during the campaigns in Iraq and against Daesh, and with Russia preoccupied with its failed war in Ukraine, it would seem unlikely that tensions between the two powers would rise here, away from the European Theatre of Operations. Yet this is what happened, when Russian pilots flew too close for comfort to American planes over Syria, and American patrols came under fire by Russian-affiliated groups. Is it by design or neglect, and can it escalate further into a major confrontation?
Host - Col. (Res.) Reuven Ben-Shalom, TV7 Powers-in-Play Panelist, Cross-Cultural Strategist and Associate at ICT, Reichman University

1. Col. (Ret.) Dr. Eran Lerman, Co-host TV7 Middle East Review, Powers-in-Play Panelist, JISS VP and Editor in Chief of the Jerusalem Strategic Tribune

Israel’s preparedness for a Multi-Sector War – Jerusalem Studio 781
The State of Israel was almost extinguished at birth when invaded by all neighboring Arab countries, with only its Western boundary of the Mediterranean Sea free from threat.
Even though it was soon established as a strong local power, Israel still feared division of precious assets by battle on several fronts – a dangerous and difficult situation witnessed when Egypt and Syria launched simultaneous offensives that sparked the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
Peace with Egypt and Jordan rendered exact repetition of this scenario moot, although now looming is a new specter of a multi-front war involving attack from several directions by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and other armed groups. The IDF prepared for such a contingency during the challenging recent “Firm Hand” exercise. Is Israel ready to confront this threat?
Panel: - Host: Jonathan Hessen.
- Amir Oren, Editor at Large, Host of Watchmen Talk and Powers in Play.
- Maj. Gen. (Res.) Gershon Ha-Cohen, IDF Army Corps Commander.
- Maj. Gen. (Res.) Yair Golan, Former IDF Deputy Chief of General Staff.
