Hezbollah in Latin America

Hezbollah in Latin America

Author: Ocelotl Group October 30, 2024 Duration: 1:07:46

Until the recent series of conflicts in the Middle East, the average person in other parts of the world was only vaguely aware of Hezbollah at all. Even now with the organization in the spotlight most people are shocked to learn of its longtime presence in Latin America, and the scope of its activities there. This includes influence operations, terror plots, money laundering, and collaborations with cartels.

In this episode, cohosted with the Great Work podcast, we discuss the history, present, and future of Hezbollah in Latin America with Emanuele Ottolenghi. As a leading expert on the topic, Emanuele helps us explore how Hezbollah’s activities affect everything from risk exposure for the private sector, to national security interests, to the very real threat of its planned terror attacks on Jewish communities in the region.
