YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this must-watch episode of UpFront, host Marc Lamont Hill sits down with renowned Israeli journalist and author Gideon Levy to unpack Israel’s controversial moves in the Golan Heights and beyond. With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly declaring plans to expand Israel’s borders and intensify its presence in Syria, we ask: Is this a bid for “Greater Israel” or a step toward another regional war?
Levy, known for his incisive critiques of Israeli policy, doesn’t hold back. From Israel’s airstrikes on Syria to its colonial ambitions, Levy explains how these actions could destabilize the region further and serve as a pretext for future conflict. He also challenges the global silence on Israel’s expanding power and the role of international law in holding nations accountable.
Will Israel’s aggressive tactics backfire, or are they part of a calculated long-term strategy? Levy delivers a sobering analysis of the risks, realities, and hypocrisies shaping the Middle East today.
Gideon Levy is a journalist and columnist for Haaretz, as well as the author of The Killing of Gaza: Reports on a Catastrophe. With decades of experience reporting on Israel’s policies and their impact on Palestine and the region, Levy is a leading voice for justice and accountability in the Middle East.
