RECENT EVENTS.
Middle East Update
Shay Zavaro, CEO of Montfort Advisory in Tel Aviv, gave us an eye-opening first hand account of the situation within the West Bank. We received insights into the perspective of settlers entrenched in open conflict with the Palestinians, as tensions escalate amidst the smuggling of heavy arms by hardline groups.
Firas (Abi Ali) Modad, founder of Modad Geopolitics in Oxford, provided a broader perspective on the shifting dynamics in Syria and their regional implications. Lieut. General Sir Simon Mayall moderated the discussion. Sir Simon has a distinguished 40-year military career behind him, including many years in the Middle East, as a result of which he became a key advisor to the Ministry of Defence.
