Join us for a special expert analysis from Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Lior Akerman to answer questions about the tense situation on the street.
· What sparked this situation?
· What or who are the sources of the violence?
· Is there a guiding hand or are the attackers truly lone wolves?
· What can Israel do to curb the violence?
· What does this mean for Israel’s and the Palestinian Authority security cooperation in the short term? In the long term?
Akerman served as a division head in Israel’s security service, the Shin Bet, and has over 25 years of experience dealing with security-related issues. He is also an op-ed contributor for the Jerusalem Post, and has recently published a piece on this subject which can be read here.
