TV7 Israel Watchmen Talk – Amb. Itzhak Levanon, Fmr. Israeli Envoy to Egypt (Part I)

Please join host Amir Oren for the first of a two-part interview with distinguished Israeli diplomat Itzhak “Izik” Levanon. Born in Beirut to the Cohen family, he decided to adopt a more Israeli name after immigrating to Israel. He naturally chose “Levanon,” which is the Hebrew version of Lebanon. Levanon came to Israel following the release of his mother Shulamit Cohen Kishik from a Lebanese prison in a 1967 prisoner exchange. As a prime Mossad and military intelligence agent since Israel’s 1948 founding, she had been arrested and imprisoned for helping Syrian-Jewish youth clandestinely escape by crossing the frontier into the Jewish State. Following her path along a different route, Levanon joined the Foreign Ministry for service on Israel’s behalf throughout the world and culminating with assumption of one of the top posts in the Middle East as Ambassador to Egypt - a dangerous position that almost led to his death at the hands of a hateful mob of thousands in Cairo during a 2011 attack on the Israeli Embassy.
