Avi MELAMED's Insights For the ITME HUB

IRAN Insights

Iran-Saudi agreement brokered by China validates prediction I made in my recent book. China, the rising power in Middle East will block Iran's path to a nuclear weapon. That's what the agreement achieves. For now.

SYRIA Insights

Hamas's strategy to fan the flames of violence in the West Bank & leave Gaza out might backfire. Playing with fire – Hamas might get burned.

ISRAEL Insights

Hamas's strategy to fan the flames of violence in the West Bank & leave Gaza out might backfire. Playing with fire – Hamas might get burned.

LEBANON Insights

Spiraling towards total collapse, Lebanon is, first and foremost, a victim of itself.

In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, the Arab-Israeli conflict exploded into the intifada - lethal and violent protests and riots throughout Israel. This was the most chaotic and dangerous period in the history of the modern city of Jerusalem.

Avi Melamed, a fourth-generation Jerusalemite Jew, former intelligence officer, fluent Arab speaker and Middle East expert, is the host of The Seam Line.
As the Advisor on Arab Affairs to two Mayors of Jerusalem during the intifada, his mission was to rebuild relations between the Arab and Jewish communities in Jerusalem. His work put him in the epicenter of this deadly storm.

The Seam Line is not a historical documentary.
It is an invitation to join Avi Melamed on an insider's journey throughout Jerusalem.

" In my role as ADVISOR on ARAB AFFAIRS to two mayors of Jerusalem.
I found myself at the forefront during one of the most complex and violent chapters in the history of Jerusalem.
My mission…to restore trust between the Arab residents of Jerusalem and the authorities.
It was a unique opportunity to act in a mission of hope in times of despair, in a city that is a part of me and I am a part of."
