1701: A Worthless Security Council Resolution?

Military and Strategic Affairs, Volume 1, No. 2, October 2009

Oded Eran

Amos Gilad, the head of the Defense Ministry’s political-security branch, testified before the Winograd Commission about grim words that do not describe any disaster in the military arena, rather the mindset and sense in Israel regarding the adoption of UN Security Resolution 1701. It seems that this testimony reflects to a large extent the lack of preparedness and thought characteristic of the political dimension – as well as the military level – in everything connected with the Second Lebanon War.
