About the institute

The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS) is an independent research institute engaged in policy-oriented research in the field of foreign and security policy. The institute was established at the end of 2017 with the aim of expressing a realistic worldview, and promoting policies that will keep Israel strong and lead to stable political arrangements. The institute insists on the importance of a united Jerusalem as a foundation for the security of the state and the national identity of the people living in Zion.

The institute provides political advice to the country’s leaders and bodies in charge of foreign and security policy. From time to time the institute publishes a situation assessment and a political-security plan. Also, the institute raises awareness of the security dilemmas of the State of Israel in the world and in the public in Israel through seminars, seminars and international conferences.

The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security regularly briefs the diplomatic community in Israel, the local and foreign media as well as the Jewish organizations in the Diaspora. The institute maintains extensive international relations with parallel research institutes in the world, and with the strategic community in the world.

The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Defense considers it an obligation to train a new generation of national security experts.
