  • Deterrence and Realism
    The Evolution of Israeli Military Strategy: Asymmetry, Vulnerability, Pre-emption and Deterrence Gerald M. Steinberg We are a generation that settles the land and without the steel helmet and the cannon’s maw, we will not be able to plant a tree and build a home. Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who live around us. Let us not avert our eyes lest our arms weaken. This is the fate of our generation. This is our life's choice - to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down. --Moshe Dayan's Eulogy for Roi Rutenberg (April 19, 1956)1 Overview When the nascent Israeli leadership met on May 14, 1948, in Tel Aviv to declare independence, the country was already being attacked by neighboring Arab armies. The clearly stated objective was to destroy the miniscule Jewish state, with its very vulnerable borders, before it could be established, using the apparently decisive Arab advantages in terms of territorial extent, armed forces, demography, and political influence. Israel overcame these hurdles in 1948 and in subsequent military confrontations, yet despite the development of formidable military capabilities, the inherent asymmetries and existential threats to the Jewish nation-state remain. Given this environment, Israel‟s survival has depended on the development of appropriate strategic and tactical responses. The period from 1948 to 1973 was characterized primarily by large scale confrontations with the armies of Egypt, Syria, 1 Iraq and Jordan in different combinations.

  • Isaac Herzog – Life Story
    Isaac Herzog – Life Story Isaac Herzog has a long history of public service: He served as Member of the 16th–20th Knessets (2003–2018) and Minister in the 30th–32nd Israeli governments. Herzog held the following positions: Minister of Welfare and Social Services; Minister of Housing and Construction; Minister of Tourism; and Minister for Diaspora, Society and the Fight Against Antisemitism; Member of the Security Cabinet of Israel responsible for humanitarian coordination with Gaza; and Leader of the Opposition. Today, he is the Chairman of the Jewish Agency. Since he assumed the position of Jewish Agency Chairman, 80,000 new immigrants have made Aliyah to Israel, including during the year of the COVID-19 outbreak. Herzog has been widely admired for his professional work in all of the operational positions he has held, especially during his tenure as the Minister of Welfare and Social Services. He oversaw a comprehensive revolution and is considered one of the best welfare ministers that Israel has ever had. Statesmanship is Herzog’s second nature: He is a man of the world, knows his way around world leaders, publishes many articles across the globe, and often appears in the international media. He is very popular among Jewish communities in the Diaspora, in all the rabbinic circles and Jewish movements, as well as among the leaders of other religious communities and sects in Israel. Herzog is a man of the people: He speaks to people as an equal; he is amicable and people-loving. Herzog is considered a pragmatic, matter-of-fact, reasonable, and responsible person.

  • Analysis of Israel's Policy on Iran's Nuclear Agreement
    The Influence of Groups in Foreign Policy Formulation: Analysis of Israel’s Policy on Iran’s Nuclear Agreement Tisa Larasati and I. Gede Wahyu Wicaksana International Relations Department, Faculty of Social and Political Science, Universitas Airlangga Keywords: Israel’s foreign policy, group level of analysis, rational policy model, Iran nuclear deal Abstract: As a critical actor in the issue of Iran’s nuclear deal, Israel’s foreign policy is rather different from many others’: Israel disagrees with both Iran’s nuclear deal and their nuclear development in general. Israel’s foreign policy, then, becomes interesting to discuss, especially by analyzing the factors that influence the decision making of their policy. In this article, therational policy model derived from the group level of analysis is used to analyze and elaborate the decision making process of Israel’s foreign policy toward Iran’s nuclear deal. This article argues that the result of Israel’s decision making process for their foreign policy is influeced by group actors surrounding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which are the Inner Cabinet and the Security Cabinet. This article finds that even though there is indeed influence from group actors in the decision making process of Israel’s foreign policy, said influence is rather complementary because decisions issued by the group actors heavily depend on several particular factors that cannot be explained by the group level of analysis. 1 INTRODUCTION something that Iran had never done before (Gillet 2017). Behind the Joint Comprehensive Action Agreement Based on the background, the author draws the (JCPOA) between Iran and the P5+1 countries research question: Why did Israel formulate foreign (China, France, Russia, Britain, the United States and policy to refuse Iran’s nuclear development and Germany) that have been implemented, there is still JCPOA agreement? To answer that question, the disagreement over Iran’s nuclear development.

The third chapter analyzes the millet system of religious laws (inherited from the Ottoman Empire) for both Jews, as the religious majority, and for different minorities. The main question is, whether or not this pluralist legal system can be considered as liberal, providing equal rights, and what other alternatives are feasible in Israel today. The more general constitutional question behind the legal one is, whether or not the Jewish and the democratic character of the State of Israel based on Zionism can be consolidated.

  • Chaim Weizmann Died at His Home in Rehovot on 9 November, 1952, Shortly Before His 78Th Birthday
    THE LETTERS AND PAPERS OF CHAIM WEIZMANN August 1947 – June 1952 Volume XXIII, Series A Introduction: Aaron Klieman General Editor Barnet Litvinoff, Volume Editor Aaron Klieman in collaboration with Nehama A. Chalom, Transaction Books, Rutgers University and Israel Universities Press, Jerusalem, 1980 [Reprinted with express permission from the Weizmann Archives, Rehovot, Israel, by the Center for Israel Education www.israeled.org.] Chaim Weizmann died at his home in Rehovot on 9 November, 1952, shortly before his 78th birthday. The restless hand which had penned so many thousands of letters, to fill these 23 volumes and encompass an epoch, at last was stilled. Between his earliest surviving letter as a ten-year-old schoolboy in Tsarist Russia and his final one as President of the State of Israel, are recorded not merely the drama and pathos, the achievements and disappointments, of one man's journey through a remarkable life, but the modern history of a people as it struggled for its identity. Others have left correspondence spanning the same period and dealing with the same concerns. They were Jewish voices; but Weizmann alone was the Jewish voice. This volume opens in the summer of 1947, when the fate of Zionism still hung in the balance: the scales of power politics are not necessarily the scales of justice. Weizmann had been replaced by more militant, Zionist leaders, and they repudiated his policy based upon restraint and cooperation with Great Britain. The Jews, having suffered the loss of a third of their people in a holocaust, were changed; so was the world as a whole, by the Second World War.
