In this podcast, I speak with Lt. Col. (Res) Eyal Dror, who was the commander of the Operation Good Neighbor (2016-2018), one of Israel's most daring and biggest humanitarian operations. We talk about his new book Embracing the Enemy, which outlines the details of what it was like to run this massively challenging, yet fulfilling mission where the Israel Defence Forces helped, rescued and treated thousands of Syrian civilians (mostly women and children) who were caught up in the midst of an ugly civil war.

Dror lives in the beautiful north of Israel and today runs geopolitical briefings in the Golan Heights for political and media delegations, as well as interested groups of individuals.

You can know more about this super important operation and learn about how compassion and love can bring even the seemingly worst of enemies together by listening to our conversation, and more importantly by getting the book Embracing the Enemy.
