Herzl Makov: ‘If an enemy says they are going to destroy us, believe them’

In this week’s episode of “Global Perspectives,” Ellie Cohanim talks with the current CEO of the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, Herzl Makov.

The two of them go behind the scenes of Israel’s bombing of the Osirak Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981, Menachem Begin’s guiding principles when he served as prime minister, Makov’s experience as chief of staff to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, and how the Begin Doctrine still informs Israeli policy on Iran.
