Israel’s pivot from Europe to Asia 1

India has become a major economic and security partner of Israel, importing USD billions in Israeli weaponry, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shares …
What after counter-insurgency? Raiding in zones of turmoil
This article argues that the option of a military raid is becoming more relevant in the contemporary strategic environment. Two developments lead to this conclusion: the increase in the number of so-called failed states and subsequently ungoverned areas; and the western inadequate response in the attempts to create zones of stability with clear strategic addresses. The efforts for statebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan have failed, and the US and …
Mowing the Grass’
‘Mowing the Grass’, Israel’s strategy in the twenty-first century against hostile non-state groups, reflects the assumption that Israel finds itself in a protracted intractable conflict. The use of force in such a conflict is not intended to attain impossible political goals, but a strategy of attrition designed primarily to debilitate the enemy capabilities. Only after showing much restraint in its military responses does Israel act forcefully t…

If Israel’s position is improving over time and the power differential between the Jewish State and its foes is growing, then its capacity to overcome regional security challenges is assured. Moreover, u…

Israel has remained a good ally of the United States in an American dominated world. This helped Israel become a respected international actor and allowed much progress in the peace process and Israel's acceptance in the …
Is Israel's Political Élite Becoming More Hawkish
In May 1989, Israel's National Unity government, the coalition of its main political parties Likud and Labour agreed on a peace initiative, a decision which was generally regarded as representing a more flexible Israeli position than hitherto. This government had been formed by Likud following the November 1988 elections. Even though Likud had secured the agreement of the religious and right-wing parties to enter into a coalition under its leader…

The Use of Force
This article analyzes Israeli attitudes toward the use of force over the period from 1988 to 1994. Based on nine public opinion polls of Israel's Jewish population, it explores public trends on three dimensions of force use-conventional war, Intifada, and terrorism-and contributes new data to the theoretical and empirical debate over the stability and rationality of public opinion. Following the presentation of an aggregate analysis of general pu…
A taxonomy of Israel's use of military force
This article analyzes the spectrum of Israel's use of military force. Employing a comparative theoretical framework, it offers a taxonomy of that experience based on three criteria: the character of envisaged political goals, the type of military strategy preferred, and the scope of forces engaged. The combination of those criteria produces eight individual modes of force, each of which is examined (with supplementary illustrations being provided…
Israeli Leadership and Public Attitudes Toward Federal Solutions for the Arab-Israeli Conflict Before and After Desert Storm
This first empirical investigation of support for federative solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict among the Jewish political leadership and general public of Israel suggests that, despite the Palestinian Intifada and the Gulf War, there is a potential basis within Israel for federal approaches to intercommunal and interstate conflict resolution. Both leaders and the public are dissatisfied with the status quo. Political leaders are more support…

Israel is situated in the Middle East, which is not a zone of peace but rather of turmoil. In contrast to the West where peace has become the norm, the Middle East exists in a different socio-political time zone. It is war-prone and the use of force still evokes remarkable popular support. The Middle East, similar to other Third World regions, displays a greater propensity for intra- and inter-state conflict as compared to the environments of the…

Following procedural difficulties, the substantive points of contention were the nature of the security ar…
