The main threat from Tehran is its nuclear program, a threat which will not be alleviated by the nuclear deal currently being negotiated between the Islamic Republic and world powers, Netanyahu said. Another threat Iran poses is by arming its allies with advanced weapons, "some of which are aimed at us". A third threat is posed by Iran's ally Hezbollah, whose agents operate in over 30 countries around the world. Tehran also poses a cyber-threat to Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia. The fifth threat - Tehran produces advanced weaponry like drones, satellites and submarines.

The move was the latest show of military might by the country as it celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution at a time of heightened tensions with the United States. The surface-to-surface missile — called Dezful — is an upgrade on the older Zolfaghar model that had a range of 700 kilometers (435 miles), aerospace commander Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh said. The new weapon was revealed after Iran on Saturday said it had successfully tested a new cruise missile named Hoveizeh with a range of 1,350 kilometer.

    Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Human Rights Studies Master of Arts Program Silencing “Breaking the Silence”: The Israeli government’s agenda respecting human rights NGOs activism since 2009 Ido Dembin Thesis Adviser: Prof. Yinon Cohen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 12 September, 2018 Abstract This research examines a key aspect in the deterioration of Israeli democracy between 2009-2018. Mainly, it looks at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Right-wing governments utilization of legislative procedure to limit the right to free speech. The aspects of the right to free speech discussed here pertain to dissenting and critical activism against these government’s policies. The suppression of said right is manifested in the marginalization, delegitimization and ultimately silencing of its expression in Human Rights NGOs activism. To demonstrate this, the research presents a case study of one such NGO – “Breaking the Silence” – and the legal and political actions designed to cause its eventual ousting from mainstream Israeli discourse. The research focuses on the importance and uniqueness of this NGO, as well as the ways in which the government perceives and acts against it. First, it analyzes the NGO’s history, modus operandi and goals, emphasizing the uniqueness that makes it a particularly fascinating case. Then, it researches the government’s specific interest in crippling and limiting its influence. Finally, it highlights the government’s toolbox and utilization thereof against it. By shining a light on this case, the research seeks to show the process of watering down of a fundamental right within Israeli democracy – which is instrumental to understanding the state’s risk of decline towards illiberal democracy.

  • Israeli Culture 2019 - Topic Menu
    Israeli Culture 2019 - Topic Menu 1. Nation-State Law Explainer What is the Nation-State Bill? The Nation-State Bill is a Basic Law that, for the first time, anchors in law Israel’s status as the “national home of the Jewish people.” Among its 11 clauses, the bill defines such things as state symbols like the flag and national anthem, the official language, national holidays, the Sabbath, the capital Jerusalem, relations with the Diaspora, and of Jewish settlement. So what’s the problem? #1 - No mention of democracy or equality Opponents of the bill note that there is no mention anywhere in the bill—nor in any other Basic Law, for that matter— of the term “equality.” Because of the need to guarantee minority rights, almost all nation-states in the world include an explicit commitment to the value of equality in their constitution or other core legislation. Israel’s Declaration of Independence contains an explicit guarantee of this sort. Moreover, the bill omits any mention of Israel's democratic character, thereby calling into question the existing "Jewish and democratic" formula that appears in previous Basic Laws. Opponents of the bill argue that this deficiency may lead to privileging Israel’s Jewish character over its democratic one, with a broad set of ramifications on everything from education policy to religion and state. Proponents, on the other hand, contend that the existing Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty defines Israel’s democratic character. Therefore, the present bill was necessary to anchor Israel’s Jewish character in constitutional law. So what’s the problem? #2 – Majority-Minority Relations The Nation-State Bill contains two clauses that affect the standing of Israel’s non-Jewish minority groups, especially Arab-Israelis who make up 20 percent of the population.

  • Trump Recognizes Israeli Annexation of Golan Heights: Green Light for Global War
    Trump Recognizes Israeli Annexation of Golan Heights: Green Light for Global War By Bill Van Auken Region: Middle East & North Africa, USA Global Research, March 26, 2019 Theme: Law and Justice World Socialist Web Site In-depth Report: PALESTINE, SYRIA The hastily completed White House ceremony in whichPresident Donald Trump signed a decree granting official US recognition to Israel’s illegal annexation of Syria’s Golan Heights is an act which, on its surface, appears to change few facts on the ground in the Middle East. No one should underestimate, however, its far-reaching global implications. In a brief proclamation, witnessed by IsraeliPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump declared that “the United States recognizes that the Golan Heights are part of the State of Israel.” He argued that Israel’s illegal seizure of the Golan Heights in 1967, its unilateral annexation of the territory 14 years later and its continued assertion of control along with the aggressive buildup of Jewish settlements and Israeli capitalist exploitation in the territory were all justified by “Israel’s need to protect itself from Syria and other regional threats,” including Iran. What nonsense. Trump turns reality on its head. Israel has used the Golan Heights as a launching pad for its own relentless attacks on Syria, which have included the Israeli arming and support for Islamist militias, including ISIS, in the war for regime change against the government of Bashar al-Assad, as well as the thousands of air strikes which Israel’s own military chief of staff acknowledged earlier this year. Washington’s recognition of “Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights” comes amid reports that the US military is consolidating its permanent occupation of eastern Syria, including the country’s main oil and gas-producing areas, even after Trump’s abortive announcement at the end of last year that he was going to “bring the troops home” from Syria.
