This would have to be yet another Israeli conversion, based on the many captured T-54 and T-55 tanks the Israelis bagged in the 1967 and 1973 wars, and a few more after those.
It is an APC / Infantry assault vehicle of some sort and IIRC, the name 'Arkzaritt' or 'Archzarit' seems to ring a bell? This would have to be among the most heavily armoured APC-ish type vehicles in the world today. Note the extensive additional armour panelling, which I believe is of a compositon developed by the Israelis themselves and very similar to what we saw on the Magach pictured just previously.

Probably a BTRT, an APC built on old T-55 chassis. Although I think the BTRT is supposed to have a 30mm autocannon.

No, Panther's right. It's an Achzarit.

Well that would appear to be a M60 Chassis but the top I have no idea.
