Warfare in Densely Populated Areas: Identification, Discrimination, and Deterrence

This policy paper examines the severe decline in Israel’s international standing and emphasizes that international legitimacy is not merely a matter of image, but a crucial strategic asset. The study rejects the simplistic view that “the whole world is against us” and that Israel’s conduct therefore does not matter, proposing instead to distinguish between a hostile core, ideological critics, audiences that are not hostile to Israel but have grown distant from it, and supporters. The document calls for adopting a differentiated policy that combines countering hostile elements with taking accountability and rectifying Israeli conduct in specific areas, in order to preserve and restore Israel’s international standing.
