Aviel loves to uncover biblical truths that shine light on current political dramas in Israel and the region. “As is it written, ‘There is nothing new under the sun.’ But there is a lot of ancient wisdom and things that people forget, especially concerning Israel. Whether we like it or not, the Bible is the only mandate for Israel’s rebirth and existence today.”
