Australia’s ABC Global Affairs Editor John Lyons asks tough questions to some of Israel’s most powerful political and military voices about the country’s strategy and intentions.

This interview-led documentary features former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, who says Benjamin Netanyahu can’t be trusted, and cabinet minister Avi Dichter, who makes a grave prediction about the conflict’s future.

This episode was originally broadcast as ‘The Forever War’ on 11 March 2024 on ABC TV and ABC iview.
