Mehdi Hasan interviews Ami Ayalon, the former head of Israel’s Security Service, Shin Bet, and the ex-commander of the Israeli Navy, in the latest episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered.’

Ayalon discusses why he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir pose a threat to Israeli democracy, calls for an end to the occupation, and explains why he would resist Israel if he were Palestinian.

As reports of Israeli torture and abuse against detained Palestinians continue to emerge, Hasan also challenges Ayalon on allegations of torture under Shin Bet during his tenure. The former security chief admits he has “many regrets.”
