Ehud Barak on Office Hours

| May 01, 2017 Series: Office Hours

Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak (@barak_ehud), the most decorated soldier in Israel’s history and a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center, talks with Aroop Mukharji (@aroopmukharji) about who needs to defeat ISIS, how Israelis view President Trump, and his curiosity about clocks.

Ehud Barak was Israel’s 10th Prime Minister, leading the country out of prolonged recession and into an economic boom, with 5.9% annual growth, record foreign investments, near-zero inflation, a halved deficit, and substantially decreased external debt. Before being elected Prime Minister, Barak completed an illustrious 36-year career in the IDF as the most decorated soldier in its history.
