Memorandum No. 68, Tel Aviv: Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University, November 2003 (Hebrew)

The Israeli reality of fast-changing political and security challenges, the heavy representation of former senior IDF officers in the Israeli political system, and the dominance of the military in Israeli society highlight the issue of civil-military relations on the Israeli agenda. This collection of essays explores the interaction between the civilian and military echelons and the civilian control of the military in Israel.
