Damascus’s reported willingness to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to remove nuclear material from the Assad-era “Site 99” underscores why Israel’s security arrangements must extend beyond the military sphere to the diplomatic arena, Dr. Gil Murciano told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.
Murciano, the CEO of Mitvim and an expert on Israeli foreign and security policy, spoke with the Post after Axios reported that the Trump administration had orchestrated a diplomatic agreement to see nuclear material removed without Israeli attacks on the site.
