At an international conference in Jerusalem aimed at combating antisemitism, Avi Yemini interviewed Flávio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian politician and the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, to discuss pressing issues facing his country.
Powerful reporting on a massively underreported issue. The tri-border area's role as a Hezbollah financing hub rarely gets mainstream attention despite being critical infrastructure for their operations. I remeber reading about the 1994 Buenos Aires bombing connections to this region and its wild how little has changed. Bolsonaro's framing of international cooperation makes sense when you realize these networks fund instability way beyond South America.
My wife is Brazilian, neither her nor her family have heard of this tri-border area... wondering if it was hide from Bolsonaro as he would have at least exposed the operations.
