On Israel’s Sensitive, Tense Civil-Military Relations
The tension between the top political and military echelons against the background of the judicial overhaul underscores the need for defined, normative civil-military relations – for the good of national security
The "people's army" is in danger of dissolution; we call for an immediate halt to the judicial overhaul legislation
The Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in an urgent alert:
The model of the IDF as the "people's army" is at risk of dissolution. This can result in a weakened military and lead Israel toward a precarious reality that jeopardizes the regional deterrence equation. Current developments coincide with escalating threats on various fronts. We call urgently for an immediate cessation of unilateral legislation, and urge that changes be pursued through a broad consensus.
