For the past forty years, the Syria–Hizballah relationship stood on its own merits, and as evident by Hizballah’s military involvement in the Syrian war in the last decade, Assad’s regime still had some Hizballah debt notes left to redeem. Notwithstanding, the academic research focused primarily on Iran’s relationship with Hizballah…
Two years ago, before the turmoil of the war, I sent out my first academic article about Hizballah’s Foundation and the Syrian Connection. It was for a special edition of Israel Affairs Journal dedicated to the period of the Security Strip in Lebanon. Recently, it was finally published online.

Middle East Policy Jun 1, 2025
Excited to announce that my latest article, exploring Hizballah’s illicit partnership with the former Syrian regime, is now published in Middle East Policy Journal. This piece, originally completed last year and recently updated to reflect current developments, offers a deep dive into how Hizballah’s funding strategies have evolved and proposes actionable policies to disrupt the organization’s force regeneration.
I’m grateful to Bar-Ilan University for supporting open-access publication, making this research freely available to academics, policymakers, and professionals.
