Lessons and Implications of the Israel-Hizballah War: A Preliminary Assessment
Mr. Makovsky is the first journalist writing for an Israeli publication to visit Damascus. In July of 1994, with the personal intervention of then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Mr. Makovsky made the first of his five trips to Syria.
With the help of U.S. officials in 1995, Mr. Makovsky gained unprecedented permission to file reports for an Israeli publication from Jeddah, Saudia Arabia.
