Speaking with Yoav Limor, INSS Director Maj. Gen. (ret.) Amos Yadlin spoke first about the “deal of the century.” It remains to be seen whether the Trump plan joins previous political plans on the shelf and effects no change; sparks dangerous initiatives, such as Israeli annexation of territory; or becomes a basis for negotiations. If no meaningful negotiations result, the plan should be implemented carefully and gradually, in order to promote Israel’s separation from the Palestinians. The dangers of unilateral annexation of territory are more political than military, and emerge – more than from Arab states – primarily from the United States and the Democratic Party (and most American Jews are Democrats) and from Europe. Gaza is a problem in and of itself, and there are 6 options, ranging from a hudna to all-out war; a middle option of an arrangement is an Israeli interest. Regarding Iran and the killing of Soleimaini, it is clear that this US act undermined Iranian self-assurance of their ability to act with immunity. However, whether this isolated kinetic act by the US will lead to a strategic change in the approach of the regime remains to be seen. Israel must maintain a credible military option against Iran’s nuclear program, although there are certainly options before any such action is taken. Finally, it is important to debate Israel’s strategies against the precision missile project in Lebanon – delay and disruption (the campaign between wars); defense; deterrence; and a preventive attack – at the highest political and military levels
