From the East Med to Congress: Cyprus and the Iron Dome, a wire-tapping scandal in Greece, Congress and the No Jets For Turkey campaign, and Dr. Oz
Endy Zemenides, HALC’s Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss a number of developments - from the East Med to the halls of Congress. We look at a story unfolding that indicates that Cyprus has reportedly secured a deal to procure Israel’s cutting-edge Iron Dome air defense system, the latest reaction from a bipartisan group of US lawmakers to reports that Turkey is moving forward with another acquisition of Russian-S400 missiles and what this means for the #NoJetsForTurkey campaign, the latest viral campaign led by HALC and ANCA to shed light on US Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz’s connections to Turkey, and the wire-tapping scandal in Greece that is dominating Greek headlines.
