Jerusalem Center Experts: We Are in a Religious Conflict between the Islamic Republic's Radical Shi'ite Regime and the Rest of the World
(Jerusalem Post) Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA) President Dan Diker, former Mossad Counterterrorism Director Oded Eilam, and JCFA Diplomacy Fellow Rawan Osman discussed "The New Middle East and the War for the West" at the 2026 Jerusalem Post New York Conference on June 1, 2026. "We are moving from defense to offense, from explaining to exposing, and from defending to attacking," said Diker. Eilam said, "We are talking about a religious conflict between the axis led by the Islamic Republic's radical Shi'ite regime and the rest of the world." Osman, born to a Syrian Sunni father and a Lebanese Shi'ite mother and who grew up in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, said, "I was one of Hizbullah's biggest fans....We underestimated jihad. We underestimated that those people are so devoted, they have long-term plans, and when they say Israel will be removed, they mean it."
