Continuing violence in Israel resulted in more bloodshed on Tuesday, with the country's public security minister, Gilad Erdan, calling for new options to increase security —including blocking off Palestinian suburbs east of Jerusalem.

Amos Guiora, a law professor at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, is an expert on counter-terrorism and national security and can speak about the latest violence in Israel. Guiora lives part-time in Israel, and is currently at his home about 10 minutes outside of Jerusalem.

Guiora has written for the New York Times about his past involvement in prisoner release negotiations for Israel. He served 19 years in the Israel Defense Forces and was involved in the release of Palestinian prisoners in his role as a judge advocate general. Guiora can offer commentary on the question of security amid the latest attacks and continuing violence in Israel.Phone: 216-470-6386 | Email: [email protected]
