Strategic assessment for Israel 2021-2020
The strategic assessment for Israel for 2021 is shaped by significant uncertainty in three principal areas: the level of success in coping with COVID-19; the modus operandi and policies of the new administration in the United States; and the political developments in Israel. The current assessment is based on a broader conception of national security, which places greater weight than in the past on the domestic arena and on threats to internal stability, social cohesion, values, and fabric of life. This of course does not detract...

Conclusion and Policy Recommendations for 2021
Strategic Survey for Israel 2020-2021
The State of Israel’s strategic balance in 2020 is the basis for the policy recommendations for the coming year. In implementing these recommendations, it is important to emphasize the State of Israel’s overarching objectives: to strengthen Israel as a Jewish, democratic, secure, prosperous, and just state that is at peace with its neighbors.

The 12th Annual International Conference: Summary and Insights
The Institute for National Security Studies, April 2019
The INSS 12th annual international conference addressed the web of challenges and opportunities Israel faces at the start of 2019.

Continuing a trend from our previous conferences, we approached Israel’s national security priorities critically from a variety of perspectives.

Part II is devoted to the political ramifications of the operation, focusing in particular on the roles played by the United States and the new Egyptian regime, and the...
International Aspects of Operation Pillar of Defense
INSS Insight No. 386, November 21, 2012
Israel has had to take international factors into account in all of its military engagements with its neighbors. It seems, however, that the political sensitivity to regional circumstances that Israel must exercise in Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza exceeds any level of political sensitivity required of Israel in previous military encounters.
